Figure 149 The Modification types window If SAFEPAQ II crashes during data entry it is possible that the Final database can be left in a damaged state Typically there is an entry for a reaction in the Parameter database but this is missing in Final This means that it is not possible just to add the reaction using Figure 97 and the reaction is not present when using Single reaction processing Figure 119 To correct this situation click on the Tools Repair Final menu item to display the Repair Final window shown in Figure 150 Repair Final The reactions listed are missing from Final Get reactions Number of points Number of ranges Close Figure 150 The Repair Final window UKAEA Fusion User manual Issue 7 January 2007 SAFEPAQ II 131 Clicking the Get reactions button displays any reactions missing from Final but present in Parameter in the list box Clicking on a reaction displays a message describing which tables the reaction is missing from and where possible showing the number of data points and interpolation ranges in the text boxes Clicking the Repair button will add the reaction details back into the Final database tables using data from Master There is now an entry for the reaction but the actual data may not be correct a warning dialog box informs the user that the data should be corrected using the Single reaction processing window Figure 119 The window is clo

This approximation is termed the Low Energy Approximation LEA it can be applied to two groups of n p and n a reactions with resolved resonance region in the n y MT 102 channel in SAFEPAQ II 1 The thermal cross section for the n p or n a reaction is known In this case the n y component between 10 eV and Ey including the resolved resonance region is merged with the n p or n o data by means of a Mod type 18 preliminary modification and the low energy n y component is then normalised to the experimental value of n p or n a thermal cross section 2 Ifthe thermal cross section for the n p or n o reaction is not known then the ratio oo at Do is calculated by TALYS and this ratio is used to derive from the known n y cross section the n p or n a thermal value o as shown in equation 1 o o xlo Jo AEN AT EE ET A 1 It should be noted that in both cases the resolved resonance region if available in the capture reaction is adopted between 10 eV and Ey An illustration of the use of this approximation is shown in Figure 2 The original EAF 2003 data contained a simple 1 v component joined to the model calculation at 1 MeV For TALYS 5a a 1 v component is joined to the statistical calculation at 3 keV In EAF 2005 the resonance data from the 3K n Y reaction is joined to the TALYS 5a data at 300 keV En to give a improved description of the reaction User manual Issue 7 Januar

TALYS These facts have been later supported theoretically by statistical model calculations which show a constant and energy independent ratio of n p n y and n a n y cross sections from about 1 meV up to 50 100 keV This is demonstrated in Figure 1 where the results of calculations with the code TALYS for Pd and Ag targets are shown It is obvious that this feature can be used to approximate the unknown low energy component of n p and n a reactions from the known n y cross sections and smoothly join these data with the excitation curve above the effective threshold This feature was first used by H Gruppelaar in 1981 to estimate n p User manual Issue 7 January 2007 SAFEPAQ II 199 components in 588Co and Co evaluations 2 from the total absorption cross section and later in a slight modified version adjustable MF2 data used to generate data for the resolved resonance region satisfying the thermal n p or n a cross sections for a small number of reactions on targets in the deformed region between 150 lt A lt 165 in the JENDL 3 library During the development of the TALYS code 3 this idea of the low energy treatment of the non threshold n p and n q reactions has been included For normalization of the n p and n a data either the thermal n p and n o cross sections if experimentally known or values derived from o n p o n y or 0 n a o n ratios calculated by TALYS can be used
91. The major difference for an extended energy library is that data are required between 20 and 60 MeV A large number of reactions have been added from TALYS using the Add new reactions window Figure 99 but those already present in say EAF 2003 need to be extended to 60 MeV This can be done automatically using data from TALYS by clicking the Reaction data Find all high energy data merge pre modifications Find all gt 20 MeV data merge TALYS pre modifications menu item This searches through the reaction list and for each reaction with no data gt 20 MeV checks if such data exist in TALYS If so then the data are extracted scaled by a factor f so that there is no discontinuity at 20 MeV and then stored as a Mod type 13 pre modification For the preparation of the EAF 2007 deuteron induced library it was necessary to extend a set of reactions above 50 MeV This was done by clicking the Reaction data Find all high energy data merge pre modifications Find all gt 50 MeV data merge TALYS pre modifications menu item User manual Issue 7 January 2007 SAFEPAQ II 89 For reactions where the threshold is close to 20 MeV the factor required to smoothly join the TALYS data to the existing data at 20 MeV may be significantly different from 1 Such reactions may be better represented by changing the data source to TALYS over the entire energy range To view the values of the factors click the Reaction data View High energy factors men

To calculate this factor the following procedure should be used Show the symbols for the data points and click on the last point prior to the discontinuity Note that if experimental data are plotted then it will be necessary to click the twelfth toolbar button to clear the experimental points The information for the selected point is shown in the status bar Using the left mouse button double click on the status bar to bring up a ToolTip showing the factor by which it is necessary to scale the high energy data to achieve continuity This works by using extrapolation using the correct law on the selected and the previous point to predicted the new value at the point above the selected one One restriction on the above calculation of factors must be noted If the number of data point for a reaction is very large gt 32 767 then the data are thinned prior to plotting only every other point is plotted For such reactions the data source in the status bar is followed by thinned and because it may not be possible to click on the actual point before the discontinuity the ability to calculate factors is disabled for reactions with thinned data The Reaction data window shows the source of data in the title bar and the reaction above the data grid Note that if data from Final Master or Test are used then the original data source is also shown in lt gt brackets In addition if there are p pre modifications and m modifications
