Uncertainty propagation in activation cross section measurements

Radiation Physics and Chemistry, Volume 140, Year 2017

The IAEA Nuclear Data Section (IAEA NDS) has emphasized the importance of archiving experimental nuclear data with detailed description of the uncertainties to provide reasonable evaluated (recommended) data sets with their uncertainties to end-usersof nuclear data. In order to achieve this goal, the IAEA NDS is transferring relevant knowledge to experimentalists by instructing uncertainty propagation for their specific experiments. This article discusses uncertainty propagation based on detailed description of uncertainties in neutron- and charged-particle-induced activation cross sections measured in our studies.
