Incorporating TAGS data in the ENDF/B decay data sub-library

ORAL

Abstract

TAGS data from experiments performed by physicists from INL, Valencia, Nantes, Jyvaskyla and MSU have been steadily incorporated in the ENDF/B decay data sub-library, resulting in a far better description of decay heat as well as reactor antineutrino spectra and yields. A careful study of the recent Daya Bay measurement of the antineutrino spectrum for energies in the 8-11 MeV range will be presented, since this measurement provides a unique opportunity to pinpoint the handful of fission products that can contribute at such high energies, which could be the goal of future TAGS experiments.
