Hello Alberto,

Thank you very much for that data. I will calculate the activation with
both datasets and compare the results. If i manage to obtain activation
yields with good statistics directly by FLUKA simulations a comparison
to the calculated results will also be very interesting.

Best regards

Felix

The data i found in the JENDL library for O-16 and N-13 looks very smooth and seems not to include the fine structure as e.g. shown in plots in "P. Oblozinsky, Handbook on photonuclear data for applications: Cross-sections and spectra, IAEA-TECDOC-1178 (2000).". For my photon spectrum with a cutoff energy of 18 MeV the choice of which cross section i use might effect the result by factor of two or more i guess.
