6. A few examples
In this section, we bring together illustrations from the practice
of nuclear data evaluation.
To illustrate the influence of coupled states in the optical potential
calculation, figure
38
shows the correlation between the structures of the spectrum of
neutrons emitted in the n+
238
U reaction and the coupled
levels. The contribution of direct inelastic cross sections to the
spectrum of emitted neutrons is clearly visible. This spectrum is
highly sensitive to the detail of the modeling of these reactions
in the optical model.
