Group Covariance Matrix
Covariance of the group cross sections depends on the covariance of the resonanceparameters p as
These quantities are the resonance parameter covariancestored in the ENDF library (FILE32)

FILE32 to FILE33 ConversionTwo stages:
Stage 1: Process resonance parameter covariance andgenerate averaged group cross-section uncertainties andcorrelation matrices. Either PUFF/AMPX orNJOY/ERRORR can be used;
Note: choice of an appropriate energy group structure andflux weighting spectra.
Stage 2: Conversion of cross section uncertainty andcovariance generated in stage 1 into the ENDF FILE33format;
Note: Simple way that this can be achieved is by using theCOVCON module of the AMPX code system.

Conclusions
▌Care must be taken when using few-group covariancerepresentations. It may be appropriate for the energyrange where the data are smooth and the resonancesare not present as for instance in the high energy region
▌For a detailed covariance results the use of the RPCM isrecommended
▌Conversion of the RPCM to CSCM using a fine energy-group structure must be examined so as to assure thatthe computer allocation size is not overwhelming largerthan that of the RPCM
▌In the resonance region few-group representation isacceptable when a general overview of the impact ofcovariance results is sought

Food for Thought
▌Impact of the weighting spectrum in thecovariance conversion from RPCM to CSCM
▌Impact of the cross section energy self-shielding
▌Impact of the cross section on thetemperature effect
