“…Branching ratios for reaction cascades, as used in γspectroscopy to convert from γ-transition cross sections, equation (6), to the reaction cross-section, are often calculated using reaction modeling codes. The uncertainty on individual calculated branching ratios and on the reaction cross-section inferred from the combination of multiple measured yields cannot be estimated in a general way [162,163] and more work is needed in this area before recommendations can be given.…”

This paper provides a template of expected uncertainties and correlations for measurements of neutron-induced capture and charged-particle production cross sections. Measurements performed in-beam include total absorption spectroscopy, total energy detection, γ-ray spectroscopy, and direct charged-particle detection. Offline measurements include activation analysis and accelerator mass spectrometry. The information needed for proper use of the datasets in resonance region and high energy region evaluations is described, and recommended uncertainties are provided when specific values are not available for a dataset.
