Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:42.02(Physics, Nuclear)The collision matrix in the R-matrix theory is unitary, hence theory brings strong constraints to behavior of the parameters. An unitarity-imposed R-matrix analysis is carried out for O system to evaluate O neutron cross-sections in the resolved resonance range. Covariance matrices are also estimated both for the cross-sections and angular distributions with a deterministic method. Present results mirror the nature in the theory as well as experimental information.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:58.15(Physics, Nuclear)The current status of covariance applications to fast reactor analysis and design in Japan is summarized. To improve the accuracy of core design values by adopting the integral data such as the critical experiments and the power reactor operation data, the cross-section adjustment based on the Bayesian theorem is used. After the release of JENDL-4.0, a development project of the new adjusted group-constant set ADJ2010 was started and completed in 2013. In the present paper, the final results of ADJ2010 are briefly described. In addition, the adjustment results of ADJ2010 are discussed from the viewpoint of use and impact of nuclear data covariances. For this purpose, three kind of indices, called "degree of mobility", "adjustment motive force", and "adjustment potential", are newly proposed.
