ENSDF Analysis Programs - BrIcc Program Package v. 2.3

Band-Raman Internal Conversion Coefficients

The National Nuclear Data Center maintains and distributes various programs in support of the International Atomic Energy Agency sponsored Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Network. These programs generally use as input files in the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF) format.

The BrIcc program package consists of BldBrIcc and BrIcc. The program BldBrIcc builds a direct access file from the tabulated electron and electron-positron pairs coefficients and from the E0 electronic factors. BrIcc can be used in different ways: as an interactive tool to interpolate conversion coefficients and E0 electronic form factors and as an ENSDF evaluation tool. As an evaluation tool, the program will prepare new ENSDF records (GAMMA and GAMMA continuation) and may also be used to merge the new records into existing ENSDF data sets.

BrIcc v.2.2: "BrIccFO" and "BrIccNH" data tables have been extended for Z=5-110 atomic numbers and recalculated for 39 elements with new adopted mass numbers.

BrIcc v. 2.0a covers 10≤Z≤95. For Z>95, the program HSICC (30≤Z≤103) or an earlier version of BrIcc which uses the "No Hole" approximation and covers 10≤Z≤126 may be used.

Note: Please report any errors or problems encountered promptly to Tibor Kibédi (Tibor.Kibedi@anu.edu.au).

Revision History
Version	Comments
1.3	β-release using the "No Hole" approximation
2.0	Full release using the "Frozen Orbitals" approximation
2.0a	Correction of problem in the MERGE option
2.0b	Correction of problem in the MERGE option
2.2	"BrIccFO" and "BrIccNH" data tables have been extended for Z=5-110 atomic numbers and recalculated for 39 elements with new adopted mass numbers. A DG CC record is generated automatically to note which one of the two user selectable ICC tables ("BrIccFO" or "BrIccNH") was used.
2.2a	The lowest tabulated point in the BrIccFO and the BrIccNH data tables for Z=88, 98, 100, 101 and 102 K-shell was 2 keV above the the binding energies.
2.2b	Fixed bug in the Ω(E0) database for the Z=34 pair conversion, based on 1986PaZM.
2.3	Default E2/M1 mixing ratios may be specified in program dialog.
