A New benchmark experiment on copper with DT neutron source at JAEA/FNS

A benchmark experiment on copper with DT neutron source was performed 20 years ago at JAEA/FNS. However, the calculated results tended to underestimate the measured data related to lower energy neutrons below a few keV in the experiment, which suggested that the measured data might be affected by neutrons scattered in the concrete wall of the experiment room or other surroundings. Therefore, we have carried out an additional integral experiment on copper, where a copper assembly was covered with Li$$_{2}$$O blocks to reduce neutrons scattered in the concrete wall. We used the Monte Carlo neutron transport code, MCNP5-1.40 and the recent nuclear data libraries, ENDF/B-VII.1, JEFF-3.2, JENDL-4.0 and FENDL-3.0 (ENDF/B-VII.0) for the experiment analysis. JENDL/D-99 was used as dosimetry cross section data. The calculated reaction rates of the $$^{197}$$Au(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{198}$$Au reaction with all the nuclear data libraries still underestimate the measured data, although the underestimation was improved compared to the previous result with JENDL-4.0 in particular. We found out that the nuclear data of copper caused this underestimation problem.
