“…The present work represents an advance over these earlier approaches principally in two ways: (1) it makes use of recent improvements in nuclear model calculations and optimizes them for describing nuclear reactions in the 0 to 250 MeV energy region; and (2) new experimental information, which has become available since the earlier studies, is used extensively to guide the calculations. Perhaps the most important measurements of non elastic processes are the neutron cross section measurements by Benck et al [2], Haight et al [14], Nauchi et al [22], Slypen et al [27,28] and Subramanian et al, [29,30] and and the proton cross section measurements by Bertrand et al [3], Cowley [tl], F6rtsch et al [13] and Meier et al [18,19].…”
