Current Status

  1. With the exception of RadList all ANSI, Open-VMS, Linux, and MS Windows versions are current with those maintained in-house at the NNDC.
  2. All analysis and utility codes have been converted to FORTRAN 95 (C.L. Dunford)
    1. ALPHAD, ComTrans, FMTCHK, ENSDAT, GTOL, NSDFLIB, PANDORA, and RULER distributed
    2. Further in-house testing before distribution of remaining programs
    3. Compaq/Digital Visual FORTRAN for Windows and Lahey/Fujitsu FORTRAN 95 for Linux.
  3. Code Revisions (See the relevant "Read Me's" for additional details):
    BrIcc1.  BrIcc 2.0 (Band-Raman Internal Conversion Coefficients using the "frozen orbitals" hole approximation) distributed.
    2.  Corrected problem in merging new records into original file
    ComTransENSDF translation dictionary files (ensdf_dic.dat and ra_ensdf_dic.dat) updated to May 4, 2007
    ENSDAT 1. Program updated to correspond to the current version (May 4, 2007) of the Nuclear Data Sheets publication program
    2. ENSDF translation dictionary files (ensdf_dic.dat and ra_ensdf_dic.dat) updated to May 4, 2007
    FMTCHK 1. Added coding to recognize new quantities output by BrIcc
    2. Corrected problems caused by different ways of ordering multiple PARENT and NORMALIZATION records
    3. Relaxed criteria for comparing final level to calculated final level
    4. Implemented several checks based on an error report from PNPI in May 2005. This included checking the residual calculated from the target and reaction against the NUCID
    5. Corrected several problems associated with parsing reactions
    6. Corrected problem in assigning numeric value for current level introduced in the conversion from F77 to F95
    7. Added check to see if FL= was identical to current level energy
    8. Added check for embedded "+" or "-" in outgoing reactions.
    9. Allow "XREF=A(123?)" and "XREF=A(?)"
    GTOL 1. Converted to double precision to address platform-dependent precision problems
    2. Table comparing input level energies to calculated energies added.
    3. Table comparing input transition energies to calculated energies with χ2's added.
    4. Compare normalized χ2 to critical χ2 and output warning to terminal and report file if exceeded.
    5. FORTRAN 95 version released
    6. Changed logic for processing FL=? so that RI and TI would be included in RI(OUT) and TI(OUT)
    7. Added query to allow user to specify theoretical DCC to be assumed (HSICC, BrIcc, or Other)
    8. Added some checks in attempt to determine if level should be held fixed in the least-squares fit
    9. Added option to place "G" in level energy field. Similar to "F" option but uncertainty will be added in quadrature with that derived from the least-squares adjustment
    10. Reworked logic so matrix would be recalculated if "FL=" gamma had not been placed within ±10 keV
    PANDORA 1.  Increased dimensions in GAMINT from 150 to 500 to handle primary capture gammas
    2. Modified dimensions of adopted level parameters to be consistent with MAXLEV parameter.
    3. Added check for existence of source datasets before trying to create file with new XREF's.
    RULERCorrected initialization problem caused in porting from F77 to F95 (null character in F95 instead of " " in F77 if string not initialized). This caused the program to sometimes skip calculations

In Progress and Future Plans

  1. BrIcc:
    1. Extend Z range to 110
    2. Update atomic electron binding energies
    3. Correct problem in overestimating shell ratio uncertainties
    4. Attempt to solve problems in estimating the uncertainty when |δ±Δδ| overlaps zero or there is a significant tail in the probability distribution overlapping zero.
    5. Attempt to reduce size of report file
  2. GAMUT: To be done by LBNL (December 2005)
  3. HSICC: Problem in creating new records when a gamma energy lay below a subshell binding energy corrected. Needs testing before distribution.
  4. RadList: Update to handle new quantities generated by BrIcc. This will include expanding the atomic data tables to include the O through R atomic electron shells.

Note: OpenVMS versions are no longer maintained or upgraded.
