18 235 U(n th,f) prompt fission neutron spectrum
19 Neutron spectrum of 235 U(n th,f) Requested by subgroup 9 of WPEC Persisting discrepancies between macroscopic (integral) and microscopic data
20 Experiment: Setup TOF measurement technique used (L = 3 m) 3 neutron detectors LS301 (NE213 equivalent, size: 4 x 2 =10.16 x 5.08 cm) SCIONIX in heavy shielding Thin 235 U (97.7%) target 112 µg/cm 2 at centre of Ionisation chamber, fission count rate /sec 252 Cf target placed simultaneously into the same chamber shifted 5 cm relative to 235 U target ( fissions/s) High Fission Fragment counting efficiency 98%
21 Neutron detector spectra Since 3 detectors were used, they can be cross-checked for reliability of results Each Run was analyzed separately to check for systematic errors No angular effect R(E), <E>=1.988MeV 1.4 detector 1 detector detector 3 Ratio to Maxwellian E (MeV) Excellent agreement of 3 individual neutron detectors
22 Comparison to Literature Data R(E), <E>=1.988 MeV Starostov this work ENDF/B-VII Our Data Starostov et al (EXFOR) ENDF/B-VII Ratio to Maxwellian E (MeV) Starostov et al.: Gas-scintillation-ionization detector U, IC, Reactor, relative to 252 Cf Excellent agreement with Starostov et al. over full energy range Our data and Starostov et. al. contradict ENDF/B-VII evaluation and the Los Alamos Model (Madland Nix)
23 Prompt fission neutron spectra impact benchmarks k eff as strongly as cross sections: pcm for solutions (unique amongst all libraries) pcm for thermal U but pcm for fast U pcm for thermal Pu but pcm for fast Pu are as important as cross sections or angular distributions => IAEA CRP on Prompt fission neutron spectra Recent measurements performed by reactor in Budapest (EFNUDAT project) previous data from IPPE Obninsk confirmed Disagreement with the Los Alamos model (up to now still accepted reference) (new data adopted in most recent ENDF/B-VII library) New efforts for an improved theoretical description in collaboration with LANL and JINER, Minsk (ISTC project)

31 Conclusions Data needs for innovative systems (e.g. GEN IV) are summarized in HPRL and WPEC Subgroup 26 document. To structure our work we have strong collaboration with international organizations (NEA, IAEA) and participate in EU programs (e.g. EUROTRANS, EFNUDAT,.). Theoretical modelling of reaction cross sections and the fission process strongly dependent on high quality experimental data as input to the codes. New IAEA CRP started due to the problems encountered with the PFNS. First result of new PFNS shows better agreement with benchmarks. Points to the importance of the PFNS. = > Prompt neutron multiplicities and spectra are crucial nuclear data
32 Conclusions and Outlook Impact of target properties and importance of target characterization Transmission and capture yield (counts) are fully consistent in a simultaneous analysis of T exp and Y exp the application of a weighting function is in first approximation not required Capture data at 400 Hz and 800 Hz (extension of energy region) Application of WF and verify normalization by 4.9 ev of 197 Au + n Determination of 241 Am quantity by calorimetry ( δn/n < 1.0 %) σ(n th,γ) and (E r, gγ n, <Γ>) up to ~ 300 ev
