文摘基于广义约化R矩阵理论,使用RAC程序(R-matrix analysis code)综合分析了^(6)He系统中所有可以利用的实验数据,给出了氚核入射10-2—20 MeV能量范围内主要反应道的评价核数据.其中积分截面包括T(t,2n)^(4)He,T(t,n)^(5)He,T(t,d)^(4)H;微分截面包括T(t,2n)^(4)He,T(t,n)^(5)He,T(t,d)^(4)H,T(t,t)T.结果表明,RAC的评价结果与实验数据和ENDF/B-Ⅷ.1的评价数据整体符合良好.重点关注T(t,2n)^(4)He反应,评价值在10^(-2)—20 MeV范围内与已有实验数据一致,在2.9 Me V附近出现由2+能级主导的共振,在1.9 Me V处,已有实验同时测量了积分截面和角分布,本工作的评价结果在两类数据上均表现出良好的一致性,积分截面与微分截面的联合约束有效提升了R矩阵参数的稳定性和评价结果的可靠性.基于6He系统的整体评价,进一步补充了T(t,n)^(5)He和T(t,d)^(4)H反应的截面数据.本工作完善了聚变反应相关的数据基础,并为后续与镜像系统6Be系统的联合分析奠定了基础.
