Conference Article: Analysis of Superphenix and Phenix neutron physics experiments with the ERANOS code and data system
Tommasi, J.; Czernecki, S.; Rimpault, G.; Varaine, F. (Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA), Saint-Paul-lez-Durance (France))Abstract
The neutron physics commissioning tests for Super-Phenix and some tests in Phenix have been re-evaluated using the recent ERANOS-1.2 code system and the ERALIB1 adjusted nuclear data library based on the JEF-2.2 evaluated data file. Compared to the older code and data system, agreement with experiment excellent and is obtained without the need to apply numerous corrections due to method biases and data poor accuracy. (author)
