A long time ago before RIPL …

(Recommended/any) inputs for nuclear reaction calculations ?

RIPL Background Nuclear reaction theory: sufficiently advanced to meet

most of the requirements for a number of applications Major sources of uncertainty are the input parameters

needed to perform theoretical calculations

Improve the methodology of nuclear data evaluation by increasing predictive power, accuracy and reliability of theoretical calculations by nuclear reaction model codes

RIPL Objective

Improved description of nuclear reactions, easier calculations allowing for a much better understanding

IAEA Nuclear Data Section has addressed these needs through a series of Coordinated Research Projects dedicated to the production of a Reference Input Parameter Library (RIPL)

1994 – 2008The longest running IAEA/NDS project

Reference Input Parameter Library

1994-1997: RIPL-1 starter file (http://www-nds.iaea.org/ripl/ )

Second CRP was initiated on “Nuclear Model Parameter Testing for Nuclear Data Evaluation (Reference Input Parameter Library: Phase II)”, and completed in 2003. Revision, extension and validation of the original RIPL-1 Starter File to produce a consistent RIPL-2 library of recommended input parameters.

Electronic Starter File (known as Reference Input Parameter Library-1) was developed and made available to users throughout the world in 1997 (compilation)

1998-2003: RIPL-2 database (http://www-nds.iaea.org/RIPL-2/)

Main goal: Energy applications, E<20MeV

RIPL-3 additional requirements Reactions at high energies for ADS (up to 150

MeV), production of medical radioisotopes (up to 100

MeV) and radiotherapy (up to 250 MeV)

Reactions on nuclei far from stability for ADS and

astrophysics

Charged-particle reactions for all non-energy

applications

Number of simple routines for the calculation of

basic input data from the parameters contained in the

library will be provided to reduce a risk of misusing

the parameters

Reference Input Parameter LibraryThird (and final) CRP: “Parameters for Calculation of Nuclear Reactions of Relevance to Non-Energy Nuclear Application (Reference Input Parameter Library: Phase III)” started in 2003. The project is close to completion. The update of the RIPL-2 database will be released in September 2008.

2003-2008: RIPL-3 database (http://www-nds.iaea.org/RIPL-3/)

- Previous HF predictions: Traditional Skyrme forces: rms(M) >> 2 MeV (120 e-e sph)

CONCLUDING REMARKSOver many years, IAEA staff within the Nuclear Data Section have successfully initiated and overseen the completion of various projects dedicated to satisfying a wide range of user demands for enhancements in the quantification and quality of neutron reaction cross sections.

RIPL-4 hopefully will contain SMMC level densities

The RIPL-3 database represents considerable advancements in the adoption and use of evaluated and highly credible nuclear data both for energy and non-energy applications

One of the most significant database developments have involved important advances in the evolution of a complete and consistent set of input parameters for the calculation of a wide range of nuclear reactions.

Efforts will continue to develop this database further, and monitor all studies that impact and could possibly improve their contents.

Experimental data: masses, discrete levels, deformations

Model parameters: OMP, NLD, gamma, fission,etc.

FINAL GOAL: EVALUATION (ENDF-6 formatted file)or NUCLEAR REACTION CALCULATION
