Benchmarking the ENDF/B-VII.1 Evaluated Nuclear Data Library
In the final stages of the development of the ENDF/B-VII.1 data library, the CSEWG committee subjected the library to an extensive data testing regimen. The final round of tests from Nov. 2011 Nuclear Data Week are collected here. A more extensive set of tests are documented in the Nuclear Data Sheets benchmarking paper. Testing after the release of the library will also be collected and presented here on this page.
