The registration deadline is July 13 at midnight MDT. Meeting attendance is limited to 70 attendees and the meeting will be in-person only.
This meeting is not a conference and is an operational meeting.
Topics:
- Lessons learned from the preparation and release of ENDF/B-VIII.1
- What will go in ENDF/B-IX?
- New techniques discussion:
- How to use templates
- Alternative evaluation techniques
- Treatment of model uncertainties
- Unsolved RRR/URR issues:
- Big covariances (MF32)
- MF32-like solution for URR
- URR formalism updates for outgoing charged particle and MT5X reactions
- New differential and integral validation experiments to target for ENDF/B-IX
