PALEALE for kerma data

[Sander Miller]

Hi all,

I am trying to use PALEALE to find MT=301 kerma data for silicon. I want to use this to create an absorbed dose response in MAVRIC. However, the data does not appear in the PALEALE output. Does it exist in xn252v8.0 (or elsewhere)? Any help would be appreciated.

My input file:

' ======================================================================
' PALEALE pull Si28 MT=301
' ======================================================================
=shell
'    copy "C:\SCALE\SCALE-6.3.2\data\scale.rev05.xn252v7.1" ft99f001
    copy "C:\SCALE\SCALE-6.3.2\data\scale.rev01.xn252v8.0" ft99f001

end
=paleale
    0$$ 99 e        2$$ 14028 e       3$$ 301 e       t
end
' ======================================================================

Snippet from my output, for nuclide 14028: (No kerma reactions [MT= 301 to 450] are present besides 402 which is for radiative capture)

 The Data are given at the following temperatures:
       293       600       900      1200      2400

 They span the range from  1.000E-05eV to  0.200E+08eV

 These sets are as follows:

 Set     MT  First Gp Last Gp  MW offset  Order
   1      1         1     252          0      0    0
   2      2         1     252          0      0    0
   3    102         1     252          0      0    0
   4   1007         1     252          0      0    0
   5   2022         1     252          0      0    0
   6   1001         1     252          0      0    0

 This nuclide has the following 1D Neutron Processes:
  1099  3099     2     3     4    16    22    28    51    52
    53    54    55    56    57    58    59    60    61    62

Hello, Sander.  

The libraries that we ship with SCALE do not have KERMA or MT=301 stored in them at this time.  

Depending on what you need, you might consider seeing whether the dose response functions that are on the SCALE libraries would work.  

Refer to https://scale-manual.ornl.gov/XSLib.html#table10-1-14 for a listing of the available dose response functions.  

Further discussion about the usage of these dose response factors may be found in the Monaco section of the SCALE manual, in the discussion surrounding the figure at https://scale-manual.ornl.gov/Monaco.html#tab8-5 .  

Thank you,
