Atlas of Neutron Capture Cross Sections
The NGATLAS contains neutron capture cross sections in the range 10-5eV - 20MeV as evaluated and compiled in recent activation libraries. Numerical values of (n,g) cross sections are available for a total of 739 targets for the elements H (Z=1, A=1) to Cm (Z=96, A=248) totaling 972 reactions.
Plots of the pointwise data and comparisons with the available experimental values at thermal energy, 30 keV and 14.5 MeV can be found in the Report INDC(NDS)-362 (IAEA, Vienna 1997) available upon request from the IAEA Nuclear Data Section.
