Description
An accurate understanding of charged-particle induced reactions is important for both astrophysics and nuclear applications. Prompted by recent experimental measurements, an improved R-matrix analysis of the 8Be system is performed. This analysis is compared to existing ENDF evaluation, and discrepancies are discussed. Uncertainties in the R-matrix parameters and experimental cross sections are inferred using a Bayesian analysis method. The results of this work will be presented and discussed.
