Use of Neutron Benchmark Fields for the Validation of Dosimetry Cross Sections

Use of Neutron Benchmark Fields for the Validation of Dosimetry Cross Sections

The evolution of validation metrics for dosimetry cross sections in neutron benchmark fields is explored. The strength of some of the metrics in providing validation evidence is examined by applying them to the 252Cf spontaneous fission standard neutron benchmark field, the 235U thermal neutron fiss...
