This work presents NJOY+NCrystal, a tool for generating thermal neutron scattering libraries for crystalline solid materials with both coherent and incoherent elastic components. The tool simplifies the generation process and includes examples of different materials and the creation of novel libraries.
In this work we present NJOY+NCrystal, a tool to generate thermal neutron scattering libraries with support for coherent and incoherent elastic components for crystalline solid materials. This tool, which is a customized version of NJOY, was created by modifying the nuclear data processing program NJOY to call the thermal scattering software library NCrystal, and includes a proposed change in the ENDF-6 format to store both the coherent and incoherent elastic components. Necessary changes to enable this format in NJOY, as well as to sample it in the OpenMC Monte Carlo code, are detailed here. Examples of materials that are coherent- dominant, incoherent-dominant, and mixed elastic scatterers are presented, as well as the creation of novel libraries for MgH2 and MgD2, that are under consideration as advanced neutron reflectors in the HighNESS project at the European Spallation Source. NJOY+NCrystal greatly simplifies the process to generate thermal scattering libraries (TSL) and this is exemplified with 213 new and updated TSL evaluations.
