Abstract [en]

The quality of evaluated nuclear data and its covariances is affected by the choice of the evaluation algorithm. The evaluator can choose to evaluate in the observable domain or the parameter domain and choose to use a Monte Carlo- or deterministic techniques[1]. The evaluator can also choose to model potential model-defects using, e.g., Gaussian Processes [2].  In this contribution, the performance of different evaluation techniques is investigated by using synthetic data.  Different options for how to model the model-defects are also discussed.

In addition, the example of a new Ni-59 is presented where different co-variance driven evaluation techniques are combined to create a final file for JEFF-3.3 [3].
