ACE Law 1 - Tabular Equiprobable Energy Bins

In the tabular equiprobable bin representation, an array of equiprobably
In the tabular equiprobable bin representation, an array of equiprobable
outgoing energy bins is given for a number of incident energies. While the
representation itself is simple, the complexity lies in how one interpolates
between incident as well as outgoing energies on such a table. If one does
