Synopsis

Atlas of Neutron Resonances: Resonance Properties and Thermal Cross Sections Z=61-102, Sixth Edition, contains an extensive list of detailed individual neutron resonance parameters for Z=61-102, thermal cross sections, capture and fission resonance integrals, average resonance parameters, and a short survey of the physics of thermal and resonance neutrons. The long introduction contains: nuclear physics formulas aimed at neutron physicists; topics of special interest such as valence neutron capture, nuclear level density parameters, and s-, p-, and d-wave neutron strength functions; and various comparisons of measured quantities with the predictions of nuclear models, such as the optical model neutron-induced fission.

As in the last edition, additional features have been added to appeal to a wider spectrum of users. These include: spin-dependent scattering lengths that are of interest to solid-state physicists, nuclear physicists and neutron evaluators; calculated and measured Maxwellian average 5-keV and 30-keV capture cross sections of importance to astrophysicists involved in nucleosynthesis modeling; s-, p-, and d- wave average radiative widths; nuclear level density parameters; and average fission widths derived from average fission cross sections.

About this title

Review:

This fully revised Sixth Edition provides extensive data on individual neutron resonance properties, thermal cross sections and average parameters

From the Back Cover:

The Atlas of Neutron Resonances, Volume 2, contains an extensive list of detailed individual neutron resonance parameters for Z=61-102, as well as thermal cross sections, capture and fission resonance integrals, average resonance parameters, as well as a short survey of the physics of thermal and resonance neutrons. The long introduction contains:

1. Nuclear physics formulas aimed at neutron physicists;
2. Topics of special interest such as valence neutron capture, nuclear level density parameters, and s-, p-, and d-wave neutron strength functions;
3. Various comparisons of measured quantities with the predictions of nuclear models, such as the optical model.;
4. Neutron- induced fission.

As in the last edition, additional features have been added to appeal to a wider spectrum of users. These include (1) spin-dependent scattering lengths that are of interest to solid -state physicists, nuclear physicists, and neutron evaluators, (2) calculated and measured Maxwellian average 5-keV and 30-keV capture cross sections of importance to astrophysicists involved in nucleosynthesis modeling, (3) s- p- and d- wave average radiative widths, (4) nuclear level density parameters, and (5) average fission widths derived from average fission cross sections.

The various evaluated neutron strength functions, as well as the scattering radii, are compared with optical model predictions.

Extensive applications of the Porter-Thomas distribution, coupled with Bayesian analysis, were made to determine the parity and spacings of neutron resonances.

This 6th edition differs from all previous editions in that average cross sections in the keV - MeV regions were least-squared fitted to derive additional average resonance parameters.

Since 1954, previous editions of "Neutron Cross Sections" have been widely used, extensively cited, and were a prime resource which satisfied the needs of the casual and serious users of neutron cross sections, as well as experimental and theoretical investigators interested in this rich field.
