The cross section is a fundamental quantity which affects the accuracy of Monte Carlo simulations widely used in nuclear applications. A new dosimetry library IRDFF-II that contains cross section evaluations that include full uncertainty quantification is being developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency and expected to be released in January 2020; a preliminary version IRDFF-1.05 was released in 2014 and is being tested in this work. Validation of the cross-section evaluations proposed for this library is a high priority task. The validation can be realized using integral cross sections measured in standard and/or reference neutron benchmark fields. Integral quantities feature significantly lower uncertainties than differential nuclear data. If the neutron spectrum where the cross section is measured is well characterized, then the Spectrum Averaged Cross Section can be used for validating of existing evaluations.
Key words: LR-0 / Spectral Averaged Cross Section / Integral experiment
