Charged-particle-induced reactions at low energies in the resolved resonance region are important for applications such as ion beam analysis of materials and management of the nuclear fuels. However, the evaluated nuclear data libraries maintained by national or international coordinated efforts (ENDF, JEFF, JENDL, CENDL) are to date, incomplete as far as charged-particle- induced reactions in the resolved resonance region are concerned. The IAEA Nuclear Data Section is coordinating an international effort to (i) verify that the existing R-matrix codes are consistent, (ii) evaluate charged-particle cross sections in the resolved resonance region, (iii) produce evaluated nuclear data files for further processing and finally (iv) disseminate the evaluated data through general purpose evaluated nuclear data libraries. We present the results of the effort made thus far on (1) verification of the available R-matrix codes, minimization methods and calculation of covariances, (2) the evaluation of the compound system $$^7$$Be*, and (3) improving $$(alpha,n)$$ reaction data for the applications.

CeRhIn$$_5$$ is a Kondo-lattice prototype in which a magnetic field $$B^{ast}$$ $$simeq$$ 31T induces an abrupt Fermi-surface (FS) reconstruction and pronounced in-plane electrical transport anisotropy all within its antiferromagnetic state. Here we report low-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements revealing a pronounced decrease in the $$^{115}$$In formal Knight shift, without changes in crystal or magnetic structures, of CeRhIn$$_5$$ at fields ($$||c$$) spanning $$B^{ast}$$. We discuss the emergent state above $$B^{ast}$$ in terms of a change in Ce's 4$$f$$ orbitals that arises from field-induced evolution of crystal-electric field (CEF) energy levels. This change in orbital character enhances hybridization between the 4$$f$$ and the conduction electrons that leads ultimately to an itinerant quantum-critical point at $$B_{c0}$$ $$simeq$$ 50T.

In this paper we present, for the first time, the results of a comprehensive effort to verify the most widely used R-matrix codes in the various fields of nuclear science and applications: AMUR, AZURE2, CONRAD, EDA, FRESCO, GECCCOS, and SAMMY. In addition to the description of the capabilities of the codes and their specifications, we discuss the results of a joint exercise which was coordinated by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The aim of the exercise was to compare calculations of charged-particle reaction cross sections for the light composite system $$^7$$Be. The calculations were performed by the codes using identical input R-matrix parameters and other specifications and were limited to charged-particle channels.

The CIELO collaboration has studied neutron cross sections on nuclides that significantly impact criticality in nuclear facilities - $$^{235}$$U, $$^{238}$$U, $$^{239}$$Pu, $$^{56}$$Fe, $$^{16}$$O and $$^{1}$$H - with the aim of improving the accuracy of the data and resolving previous discrepancies in our understanding. This multi-laboratory pilot project, coordinated via the OECD/NEA Working Party on Evaluation Cooperation (WPEC) Subgroup 40 with support also from the IAEA, has motivated experimental and theoretical work and led to suites of new evaluated libraries that accurately reflect measured data and also perform well in integral simulations of criticality. This report summarizes our results and outlines plans for the next phase of this collaboration.

Emergent antiferromagnetism out of the "hidden-order" state in URu$$_2$$Si$$_2$$; High magnetic field nuclear magnetic resonance to 40 T

Very high field $$^{29}$$Si-NMR measurements using a fully $$^{29}$$Si-enriched URu$$_2$$Si$$_2$$ single crystal were carried out in order to microscopically investigate the "hidden order" (HO) state and adjacent magnetic phases in the high field limit. At the lowest measured temperature of 0.4 K, a clear anomaly reflecting a Fermi surface instability near 22 T inside the HO state is detected by the $$^{29}$$Si shift, $$^{29}K_c$$. Moreover, a strong enhancement of $$^{29}K_c$$ develops near a critical field $$H_{rm c}simeq 35.6$$ T, and the $$^{29}$$Si-NMR signal disappears suddenly at $$H_{rm c}$$, indicating the total suppression of the HO state. Nevertheless, a weak and shifted $$^{29}$$Si-NMR signal reappears for fields higher than $$H_{rm c}$$ at 4.2 K, providing evidence for a magnetic structure within the magnetic phase caused by the Ising-type anisotropy of the uranium ordered moments.

CIELO (Collaborative International Evaluated Library Organization) provides a new working paradigm to facilitate evaluated nuclear reaction data advances. It brings together experts from across the international nuclear reaction data community to identify and document discrepancies among existing evaluated data libraries, measured data, and model calculation interpretations, and aims to make progress in reconciling these discrepancies to create more accurate ENDF-formatted files. The focus will initially be on a small number of the highest-priority isotopes, namely $$^{1}$$H, $$^{16}$$O, $$^{56}$$Fe, $$^{235,238}$$U, and $$^{239}$$Pu. This paper identifies discrepancies between various evaluations of the highest priority isotopes. The evaluated data for these materials in the existing nuclear data libraries are reviewed, and some integral properties are given. The paper summarizes a program of nuclear science and computational work needed to create the new CIELO nuclear data evaluations.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies using $$^{11}$$B and $$^{69,71}$$Ga have been performed on the tetragonal Ce-based ferromagnet CeRu$$_2$$Ga$$_2$$B. The Knight shifts for the nuclei show an Ising-type anisotropy along the $$c$$ axis, similar to results from the static susceptibility. From the Knight shift measurements, the hyperfine coupling constants have been determined. The anisotropy of the spin- lattice relaxation rates $$1/T_1$$ indicates that the anisotropy of spin fluctuations are also Ising-like along the $$c$$ axis. The localized character of the $$4f$$ electrons in this system is discussed.

The surrogate reaction technique has been employed to $$(n,gamma)$$ cross sections in the actinide region to a precision of 20%, but in the rare earth region a factor of 2-3 discrepancy exists between the directly measured $$(n,gamma)$$ and extracted surrogate cross sections. A possible origin of this discrepancy lies in differences between the initial spin/parity population distribution. To investigate this, the angular momentum transfer of the surrogate reaction in Gd nuclei has been measured.

The ENDF/B-VII.1 library is our latest recommended evaluated nuclear data file for use in nuclear science and technology applications, and incorporates advances made in the five years since the release of ENDF/B-VII.0. These advances focus on neutron cross sections, covariances, fission product yields and decay data, and represent work by the US Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG) in nuclear data evaluation that utilizes developments in nuclear theory, modeling, simulation, and experiment. It features extension of covered nuclei, covariance data for 190 nuclei, R-matrix analyses of neutron reactions on light nuclei, updates for some medium-heavy and actinoid nuclei, etc. Criticality benchmark tests with a transport simulation code MCNP shows improved performances.

Dilute La-substitutions in CeRhIn$$_5$$ studied by means of NMR/NQR techniques

Sakai, Hironori; Kurita, Nobuyuki*; Miclea, C. F.*; Movshovich, R.*; Lee, H.-O.*; Ronning, F.*; Bauer, E. D.*; Thompson, J. D.*

Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 80(Suppl.A), p.SA059_1 - SA059_3, 2011/07

The effect of dilute La substitution in Ce$$_{1-x}$$La$$_{x}$$RhIn$$_{5}$$ (0$$le$$x$$le$$0.07) has been investigated microscopically by nuclear magnetic/quadrupole resonance (NMR/NQR). By the dilute La substitutions, the 4$$nu_{rm Q}$$ lines for In(1) sites are found to be undisturbed and to have a reasonably narrow width, even in the ordered AF state. These 4$$nu_{rm Q}$$ positions in the La-substituted CeRhIn$$_{5}$$ indicate a decrease of the internal field on In(1) sites, due to the reduction of hyperfine couplings by La substitutions. The spin-lattice relaxation rates ($$1/T_{1}$$) using these 4$$nu_{rm Q}$$ lines at high temperatures can be understood by the reduction of exchange energy and effective moments. On the other hand, $$1/T_{1}$$ in the AF ordered state can be explained by a gapped Fermi surface and spin fluctuations of uncompensated localized Ce moments near the La ions.

Here, we report a manifestation of electronic inhomogeneity in a strongly correlated $$f$$-electron system, using CeCoIn$$_5$$ as an example. A thermodynamic analysis of its superconductivity, combined with nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements, shows that nonmagnetic impurities (Y, La, Yb, Th, Hg, and Sn) locally suppress unconventional superconductivity, generating an inhomogeneous electronic "Swiss cheese" due to disrupted periodicity of the Kondo lattice. Our analysis may be generalized to include related systems, suggesting that electronic inhomogeneity should be considered broadly in Kondo lattice materials.

Two-fluid model of heavy fermion formation and $$mu$$SR knight shift measurements in UBe$$_{13}$$

Heffner, R. H.; MacLaughlin, D. E.*; Sonier, J. E.*; Fundley, M. F.*; Thompson, J. D.*

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 310(2, Part1), p.e6 - e8, 2007/03

Recently phenomenological picture of the formation of the heavy femion state was put forward in terms of a two-component susceptibility, one component corresponding to non-interacting local moments and second, low-temperature component associated with onset of heavy fermation state (so-called "two-fluid" model). This phenomenology can be studied by measuring the local susceptibility via $$mu$$SR Knight shift measurements. Normally, the Knight shift is proposional to the bulk susceptibility. The onset of second component appears as a deviation in the linear relation. Previously we discovered a non-linear relation in U$$_{1-x}$$Th$$_{x}$$Be$$_{13}$$, which was interpreted in terms of a temperature-dependent hyperfine field. Here we reexamine these data in terms of the two-fluid model. Our analysis shows that these date are consistent with the scaling law proposed. The $$mu$$SR data are discussed in terms of related changes in the resistivity and the NMR relaxation rates in these systems.
