Description:
The theoretical description of the 56Fe neutron induced reaction cross sections is the subject of many studies within the nuclear data community. Based on these studies, issues were discovered in the evaluated cross sections of the 56Fe(n,γ) reaction. Those issues were addressed by implementing changes in the ENDF/B-VIII.0 evaluation. The aim of this work is to provide a physical interpretation for these changes by exploring the direct radiative capture mechanism for 56Fe. For the calculations, a dedicated code (PDIX) was utilized. The first results of the direct capture cross section of 56Fe are presented and discussed.
