This repository contains a library of thermal scattering files generated with a special version of NJOY2016, modified to compute coherent scattering with NCrystal. This tool, called NJOY+NCrystal, is available here.
For each material, TSL files in the ENDF-6 and ACE formats are included. Two versions are provided: the standard format that can either contain coherent or incoherent elastic, and one in the improved format recently proposed, called "mixed elastic", which contains both. This new format is not yet supported in MCNP, but a modified version of OpenMC that supports it is provided in a separate repository.
All temperatures are provided in ENDF-6 format, but only the first one is provided in ACE format because of space requirements. Nevertheless, pdf plots created with ACER are provided for all the temperatures.
Evaluations in this release were generated with NJOY2016 2016.61_njoyncrystal and NCrystal v2.6.1_njoyncrystal.
