Abstract

Neutron nuclear data of natural silver and its isotopes (107Ag and 109Ag) have been evaluated in the energy range of 10−5eV–20 MeV. Evaluated quantities are the total, elastic and inelastic scattering, capture, (n, Zn), (n, 3n), (n, p), (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 based on available experimental data and theoretical calculations. Multi-step Hauser-Feshbach calculation played an important role in the determination of the reaction cross sections. In the calculation, the precompound process was taken into account above 5MeV, in addition to the compound one. The evaluated data have been compiled into JENDL-3 in the ENDF-5 format.
