Evaluation of effective threshold displacement energies and other data required for the calculation of advanced atomic displacement cross-sections

Abstract
Minimum displacement threshold energy, averaged displacement threshold energy, effective displacement energy, and parameters of arc-dpa equations were estimated for 70 materials from Li to U using available experimental data. Obtained data can be used for approximate calculation of the radiation damage rate for materials irradiated with neutrons in the different facilities.
