Evaluation of Angular Distributions and Gamma-Ray Production Cross Sections for Iron

Data on total γ-ray production cross-sections from the evaluated data libraries ENDF, JENDL, BROND and others were comparatively analyzed. Total γ-ray production cross-sections and discrete γ-lines were evaluated in the neutron energy range of 0.5–19 MeV. Also evaluated were angular distributions of discrete γ-lines with the energy 846.8, 1238.3 and 1810.8 keV. Evaluated data on coefficients of Legendre polynomials α2, α4 were obtained describing angular distributions in the neutron energy range from the threshold of the level excitation of up to 14 MeV.
