Fission cross section of 239Pu can be seen as a sum of the “immediate" fission and “two-step" (n,γf) reactions. In the Resolved Resonance Range of the reaction cross sections, the contribution of the (n,γf) process has an impact on the determination of the partial widths magnitude involved in the Reich-Moore approximation of the R-matrix theory. The present work aims to investigate this impact by using the CONRAD code and the partial width Γγf for the (n,γf) reaction calculated by Lynn et al. [1]. A special attention will be paid to the covariance matrix obtained on νp.
