bullThe uncertainties in these measurements vary between 05 and 10 (gt10 Gayther data set)
bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique
bullAdditional resonance parameters can be found in Weston measurements and in transmissionfission measurements of Derrien at el

Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
The amount of available data for 243Am(nγ) is scarce In the resolved resonance region experimental radiative widths have been obtained indirectly from transmission measurements of Simpson et aland few fission ToF measurements
No direct ToF capture cross section data have been found
In the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV there exist only two TOF data sets by Wisshak et al and Weston et al ranging from 03 keV to 100 keV and 5 keV to 100 keV respectively
No data are available above 100 keV

bullThe uncertainties in these measurements vary between 05 and 10 (gt10 Gayther data set)
bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique

Available Experimental Data Sets
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bull Few different ToF capture data sets are available in the resolved resonance region the (nabs) data from Weston et al and Todd et al the (nγ) data from Vanpraet et al and the (nγ) measurements of Gayther et al
bull In the unresolved resonance region the above mentioned data as well as the data of Wisshak amp Kaeppeler are available
bull No experimental data above 400keV are available except few activation measurements as well as 9 data points (nγ) measurement of Florov in energy range from 3e5 eV to 680e5 eV
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bullThe uncertainties in these measurements vary between 05 and 10 (gt10 Gayther data set)
bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique
bullAdditional resonance parameters can be found in Weston measurements and in transmissionfission measurements of Derrien at el

Available Experimental Data Sets for Am-243
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
The amount of available data for 243Am(nγ) is scarce In the resolved resonance region experimental radiative widths have been obtained indirectly from transmission measurements of Simpson et aland few fission ToF measurements
No direct ToF capture cross section data have been found
In the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV there exist only two TOF data sets by Wisshak et al and Weston et al ranging from 03 keV to 100 keV and 5 keV to 100 keV respectively
No data are available above 100 keV
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bull Energy Shifting between JENDL 33 and other libraries
bull Large Shape Differences
bull Discrepancies in Resonance Parameters between Libraries
bull Lack of Experimental Data
JENDL 33 contain the latest evaluated file for 243Am
Resume of 243Am capture cross section data sets
New top accuracy measurements and sophisticated analysis of 243Am resonance

bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique

bull Few different ToF capture data sets are available in the resolved resonance region the (nabs) data from Weston et al and Todd et al the (nγ) data from Vanpraet et al and the (nγ) measurements of Gayther et al
bull In the unresolved resonance region the above mentioned data as well as the data of Wisshak amp Kaeppeler are available
bull No experimental data above 400keV are available except few activation measurements as well as 9 data points (nγ) measurement of Florov in energy range from 3e5 eV to 680e5 eV
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bullThe uncertainties in these measurements vary between 05 and 10 (gt10 Gayther data set)
bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique
bullAdditional resonance parameters can be found in Weston measurements and in transmissionfission measurements of Derrien at el

Available Experimental Data Sets
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bull Few different ToF capture data sets are available in the resolved resonance region the (nabs) data from Weston et al and Todd et al the (nγ) data from Vanpraet et al and the (nγ) measurements of Gayther et al
bull In the unresolved resonance region the above mentioned data as well as the data of Wisshak amp Kaeppeler are available
bull No experimental data above 400keV are available except few activation measurements as well as 9 data points (nγ) measurement of Florov in energy range from 3e5 eV to 680e5 eV
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bullThe uncertainties in these measurements vary between 05 and 10 (gt10 Gayther data set)
bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique
bullAdditional resonance parameters can be found in Weston measurements and in transmissionfission measurements of Derrien at el

No direct ToF capture cross section data have been found
In the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV there exist only two TOF data sets by Wisshak et al and Weston et al ranging from 03 keV to 100 keV and 5 keV to 100 keV respectively

The amount of available data for 243Am(nγ) is scarce In the resolved resonance region experimental radiative widths have been obtained indirectly from transmission measurements of Simpson et aland few fission ToF measurements
No direct ToF capture cross section data have been found
In the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV there exist only two TOF data sets by Wisshak et al and Weston et al ranging from 03 keV to 100 keV and 5 keV to 100 keV respectively
No data are available above 100 keV

Available Experimental Data Sets
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bull Few different ToF capture data sets are available in the resolved resonance region the (nabs) data from Weston et al and Todd et al the (nγ) data from Vanpraet et al and the (nγ) measurements of Gayther et al
bull In the unresolved resonance region the above mentioned data as well as the data of Wisshak amp Kaeppeler are available
bull No experimental data above 400keV are available except few activation measurements as well as 9 data points (nγ) measurement of Florov in energy range from 3e5 eV to 680e5 eV
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bullThe uncertainties in these measurements vary between 05 and 10 (gt10 Gayther data set)
bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique
bullAdditional resonance parameters can be found in Weston measurements and in transmissionfission measurements of Derrien at el

Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
The amount of available data for 243Am(nγ) is scarce In the resolved resonance region experimental radiative widths have been obtained indirectly from transmission measurements of Simpson et aland few fission ToF measurements
No direct ToF capture cross section data have been found
In the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV there exist only two TOF data sets by Wisshak et al and Weston et al ranging from 03 keV to 100 keV and 5 keV to 100 keV respectively
No data are available above 100 keV

Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
The amount of available data for 243Am(nγ) is scarce In the resolved resonance region experimental radiative widths have been obtained indirectly from transmission measurements of Simpson et aland few fission ToF measurements
No direct ToF capture cross section data have been found
In the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV there exist only two TOF data sets by Wisshak et al and Weston et al ranging from 03 keV to 100 keV and 5 keV to 100 keV respectively

Available Experimental Data Sets
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bull Few different ToF capture data sets are available in the resolved resonance region the (nabs) data from Weston et al and Todd et al the (nγ) data from Vanpraet et al and the (nγ) measurements of Gayther et al
bull In the unresolved resonance region the above mentioned data as well as the data of Wisshak amp Kaeppeler are available
bull No experimental data above 400keV are available except few activation measurements as well as 9 data points (nγ) measurement of Florov in energy range from 3e5 eV to 680e5 eV
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bullThe uncertainties in these measurements vary between 05 and 10 (gt10 Gayther data set)
bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique
bullAdditional resonance parameters can be found in Weston measurements and in transmissionfission measurements of Derrien at el

The amount of available data for 243Am(nγ) is scarce In the resolved resonance region experimental radiative widths have been obtained indirectly from transmission measurements of Simpson et aland few fission ToF measurements
No direct ToF capture cross section data have been found
In the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV there exist only two TOF data sets by Wisshak et al and Weston et al ranging from 03 keV to 100 keV and 5 keV to 100 keV respectively
No data are available above 100 keV

Available Experimental Data Sets
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bull Few different ToF capture data sets are available in the resolved resonance region the (nabs) data from Weston et al and Todd et al the (nγ) data from Vanpraet et al and the (nγ) measurements of Gayther et al
bull In the unresolved resonance region the above mentioned data as well as the data of Wisshak amp Kaeppeler are available
bull No experimental data above 400keV are available except few activation measurements as well as 9 data points (nγ) measurement of Florov in energy range from 3e5 eV to 680e5 eV
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bullThe uncertainties in these measurements vary between 05 and 10 (gt10 Gayther data set)
bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique
bullAdditional resonance parameters can be found in Weston measurements and in transmissionfission measurements of Derrien at el

Available Experimental Data Sets
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bull Few different ToF capture data sets are available in the resolved resonance region the (nabs) data from Weston et al and Todd et al the (nγ) data from Vanpraet et al and the (nγ) measurements of Gayther et al
bull In the unresolved resonance region the above mentioned data as well as the data of Wisshak amp Kaeppeler are available
bull No experimental data above 400keV are available except few activation measurements as well as 9 data points (nγ) measurement of Florov in energy range from 3e5 eV to 680e5 eV
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
bullThe uncertainties in these measurements vary between 05 and 10 (gt10 Gayther data set)
bull Into the lower energies of resolved resonance region (first few resonances) a large difference between Vanpraet data and other data sets
was found as the difference is up to 30
bullThis difference should be due to the not correct self shielding effects account or not enough correct application of weighting technique
bullAdditional resonance parameters can be found in Weston measurements and in transmissionfission measurements of Derrien at el

Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
The amount of available data for 243Am(nγ) is scarce In the resolved resonance region experimental radiative widths have been obtained indirectly from transmission measurements of Simpson et aland few fission ToF measurements
No direct ToF capture cross section data have been found
In the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV there exist only two TOF data sets by Wisshak et al and Weston et al ranging from 03 keV to 100 keV and 5 keV to 100 keV respectively

Available Experimental Data Sets for Am-243
Nuclear Data for Transmutation status needs and methods
The amount of available data for 243Am(nγ) is scarce In the resolved resonance region experimental radiative widths have been obtained indirectly from transmission measurements of Simpson et aland few fission ToF measurements
No direct ToF capture cross section data have been found
In the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV there exist only two TOF data sets by Wisshak et al and Weston et al ranging from 03 keV to 100 keV and 5 keV to 100 keV respectively
No data are available above 100 keV
