Abstract

We generated a preliminary set of resonance parameters for 182,183,184,186W in the neutron energy range of thermal up to several keV. The evaluation methodology uses the Reich-Moore approximation to fit with the R-matrix code SAMMY, the high-resolution measurements performed in 2010 and 2012 at the Geel linear accelerator facility. For 183W, the transmission data and capture cross sections calculated with the set of resonance parameters are compared with the experimental values, and some of the average properties of the resonance parameters are discussed. In the analyzed energy range, this work almost doubles the existing resolved resonance evaluations in the ENDF/B-VII.1 library. A preliminary analysis of the performance of the calculated cross sections based on Lead slowing-down benchmarks is presented and briefly discussed.
