New and Future Development (Tue. 09:30-12:00)
ParticleHP and Interpolation Scheme
Adding break up reaction to HP
Status and feature development of GND, GIDI and
G4LEND
Development of Fission Fragment Generator
July 2014 Status of particle_hp 3
What is particle_hp?
neutron_hp package uses evaluated nuclear data bases for neutron interactions: Total cross sections Inelastic channel cross sections Double differential spectra of outgoing particles Gamma emission because of nuclear level transitions
particle_hp: do the same for (inelastic) interactions of other particles (p, d, t, He3, )
Inelastic interactions of p/d/t/He3/ particles E < 200 MeV
neutron_hp/particle_hp: interpolation of double differential cross sections
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory LLNL-PRES-xxxxxx6
GND• New “nuclear” data structure to replace ENDF-6 format
— ENDF atomic data also
GIDI• Transport code API for reading and sampling GND
data
FUDGE• Infrastructure for reading, viewing, modifying, checking,
processing and writing GND data
Outline
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory LLNL-PRES-xxxxxx7
Written in C• will probably convert to C++ in the next few years
GEANT4 wrappers written in C++• Interface called G4LEND
— Low Energy Nuclear Data (LEND)
Needs several LLNL libraries• PoPs (Property of Particles)• statusMessageReporter• numericalFunctions
GIDI code languages
FISSION EVENT GENERATION
FISSION SAMPLING 8
• Goal: single event perspective
• Accurately reproduce single fission event
• Maintain overall fission statistics
• Conservation
• Mass
• Momentum
• Energy

Data preparation and documentation (Wed. 11:30-12:00,Lunch Break, 13:30-15:00)
CIEMAT data preparation for IAEA
See later slide
LLNL data preparation and international GND project
See later slide
Documentation of data format
Prepare documentation of cross section part
Full documentation needs huge efforts
Possibility to use conversion tools for providing
information
UI commands for setting environment variables of HP
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory LLNL-PRES-65671326
LLNL proposed this collaboration in order to promote GND (or something based on it) as the new standard
Entitled ‘Beyond the ENDF format: a modern nuclear database structure.’
Resources:• https://www.oecd-nea.org/science/wpec/sg38/• https://ndclx4.bnl.gov/gf/project/sg38/
International collaboration (WPEC SG38) has been formed to design a new format for storing nuclear data, and to oversee the transition from ENDF-6 to the new format.

Audio
Use phone connection rather than PC
Toll free numbers are available for most countries
Web Application
Chat to specified person sometime useful
Every video from web-cam has same display size
Slide Share
Only chair person controls slides
Converting slides takes a long time
Only one set of slides can handle per session
Recording
Sound quality is surprisingly good and slides are also showing

Thank you very much for all physical and remote
participants!!
I wish to have next round meeting soon!
