  1. Individual data are selected from Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF/B-VIII.0) and Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (JENDL-5) compiled by Brookhaven National Laboratory
  2. aThe epithermal cross section (σepi) is calculated from the Eq. (2) (see text) with the parameters RI and εmax in the table
