II. RECONSTRUCTING THE NDE included in my analysis have J = 1 2 and hence g = 1 and g Γ 0 n = Γ 0 $_{n}$. However, there are two resonance spins possible for p -wave resonances for these nuclides; J = 1 2 or 3 $_{2}$, and hence g = 1 or 2. As a reminder of these facts, I will use g Γ 0 n when referring to reduced neutrons widths in the remainder of this paper. To my knowledge, the resonance energies and neutron widths in the NDE have never been published as a set. It should be possible, however, to reconstruct this information from the nuclides and corresponding number of resonances given in the NDE papers [1, 2] and the primary references cited therein. Unfortunately, several of the references listed in the NDE papers are ”private communication”, there are a few errors in the number of resonances reported in Refs. [2], and this reference does not explain why some of the nuclides in their NDE were excluded from their analysis of the neutron widths. For example, in Ref. [2] it is stated that 1182 neutron widths in 21 nuclides were included in the analysis. However, the sum of the number of resonances in these 21 nuclides reported in this same reference is actually 1194. One resonance in $^{182}$W was reported without a neutron width in the primary reference [11], so only 40 of the 41 resonances for this nuclide can be included in the width analysis. Therefore, the total number of widths is actually 1193, not 1182. Also, 19, 54, 47, and 21 resonances have been reported [8, 12] for 154 , 156 , 158 , $^{160}$Gd, respectively, not 19, 47, 21, and 54, respectively as stated in Ref. [2]. In addition, there are three nuclides ( $^{160}$Dy, $^{164}$Dy, and $^{186}$W, with 18, 20, and 14 resonances, respectively) in the NDE of Ref. [2] that were not included in their width analysis, even though neutron widths were available [11, 13]. In total then, the NDE of Ref. [2] should contain 1245 neutron resonances in 24 nuclides for which widths have been reported. I obtained resonance energies and neutron widths for these nuclides from the primary references given in Table I, and cross checked these data with information in the EXFOR/CSISRS [14] database. Given the problems noted above, I cannot be certain that I have analyzed the same data as those in the NDE of Ref. [2]. However, using data from the primary references should minimize any differences with Ref. [2] as well as make it easier for others to reconstruct the data set I have used. 3
