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
