Abstract
Neutron nuclear data of stable mercury isotopes (196Hg, 198Hg, 199Hg, 200Hg, 201Hg, 202Hg and 204Hg) have been evaluated in the energy range of 10−5eV–20MeV. Evaluated quantities are the total, elastic and inelastic scattering, capture, (n, 2n), (n, 3n), (n, p), (n, d), (n, α), (n, np), (n, nα) reaction and γ-ray production cross sections, the resonance parameters, and the angular and energy distributions of emitted neutrons and γ-rays. The evaluation is mainly based on nuclear reaction model calculations. Statistical-model calculation played a significant role in the determination of the reaction cross sections. The evaluated data have been compiled in the ENDF-6 format, and are used for the design study of a mercury target system proposed at the Neutron Science Research Center, Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute.
