We present recent progress of nuclear data evaluation method in the resolved resonance range. Our multi-channel R-matrix code now includes photon-channel and computational capability of charged-particle elastic scattering. We also present the physical constraint from the theory in the analysis of experimental data. Example analysis results are shown for 
Be and 
O compound system. Finally, perspectives are discussed toward the advancement of nuclear data in the resonance region including those for medium-heavy nuclei.

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.

There still remain differences among measured data, which makes the evaluated cross-sections uncertain, and which consequently affects some integral calculation. O is one of the important nuclei in the nuclear application, but such kinds of issues appears in elastic-scattering and (n,) reaction cross-sections. Purpose of this study is to solve those issues as they are common concerns in the world. We present estimated cross sections and their covariance data which are "physically" constrained by the R-matrix theory. The differences between the estimated and the measured cross-sections will be also discussed.

) cross section. Also, there are increasing demands for giving uncertainties in evaluated cross section to estimate the margin of integral calculations. We analyzed experimental cross sections with R-matrix theory, and estimated cross sections with their uncertainties. In this analysis, not only the neutron but also an inverse reactions were included. The systematic uncertainties were also considered for each measurement. The resulting cross sections and uncertainties mirror both experimental and theoretical knowledges.

Times Cited Count：107 Percentile：98.48(Physics, Nuclear)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 H, O, Fe, U, and 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.

Times Cited Count：23 Percentile：74.03(Physics, Nuclear)Neutron reactions that produce alpha-particles have been investigated for energies from threshold to 150 MeV on elemental chromium, iron, Co and Ni. The cross sections were measured at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center by direct observation of alpha-particles. The model calculations are made for statistical and pre-equilibrium processes. This study particularly focuses on the pre-equilibrium cluster emission, which is described by the clustering exciton model of Iwamoto and Harada. We calculate the alpha-particle formation factors numerically without any approximations that appeared in the original model. The calculated alpha-particle production cross sections agree well with the measured data, except for the Cr case. With a simple sensitivity study for the level density parameters, it is reported that relatively small changes in the level density parameters improve reproduction of experimental data significantly.

energy spectra for medium-to-heavy nuclei up to 200 MeV. In this work, we calculate alpha-particle formation factors without any approximations that appear in the original model. The clustering process is also considered in both the primary and second pre-equilibrium emissions. We optimize the exciton and the clustering model parameters simultaneously by looking at the experimental 
and energy spectra. The experimental alpha-particle spectra are well reproduced with a unique set of clustering model parameters, which is independent of incident neutrons/protons. The present analysis also implies that the clustering model parameter is not so different between the medium and heavy nuclei. Our calculations reproduce experimental data generally well up to the incident energy of 
150 MeV, but underestimations are seen above this energy.

Times Cited Count：26 Percentile：79.09(Physics, Nuclear)We calculate the direct and semi-direct (DSD) components of the neutron capture cross sections for a series of tin isotopes and compare them with the Hauser-Feshbach (HF) contribution in the energy region of astrophysical interests. It was found that the HF component, which is known to be dominant for isotopes in the vicinity of the stability line, drops off rapidly for isotope Sn and toward more neutron-rich ones, while the DSD component decreases only smoothly. As a consequence, the direct portion of the DSD component comes to give the largest contribution to the total (,) cross section below a few MeV. Therefore, the direct capture process modifies the astrophysical (,) reaction rates for these neutron-rich isotopes to a great extent. The reason of the difference in the isotopic dependence between the HF and DSD components is discussed, and its implication for the -process nucleosynthesis is given.
