Differential Cross Sections and the Impact of Model Defects in Nuclear Data Evaluation

A statistically consistent method for the inclusion of the so-called model defects into Bayesian evaluation methods based on extensive modeling is presented. The method uses Gaussian processes to define a-priori probability distributions for possible model defects. The inclusion is of particular imp...
