Status of ENSDF Analysis and Utility Codes
(October 25, 2006 to October 22, 2007)

Report Prepared for the 2007 Meeting of the
United States Nuclear Data Program

Previous Status Reports

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):

   ComTrans	ENSDF translation dictionary files (ensdf_dic.dat and ra_ensdf_dic.dat) updated to May 4, 2007
   ENSDAT	1.	Program updated to correspond to the 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.	Corrected more problems associated with parsing reactions
   	2.	Added check for embedded "+" or "-" in outgoing reactions.
   	3.	Allow "XREF=A(123?)" and "XREF=A(?)"
   	4.	Corrected problems in GetOut which caused an infinite loop
   	5.	Corrected problem in checking Parent Comment records when multiple SF parents on DSID
   	6.	Corrected erroneous "NO FINAL LVL" messages when non-numeric gamma energy given
   	7.	Corrected erroneous "EL-EG" messages when parent level had "SP" or "SN" in energy field
   	8.	Added a check for multiple "FL="'s
   	9.	Corrected logic problem which was causing the Level record S field not to be checked when it was relabeled
   	10.	Added check for possible typo error if a period is in the last field of a value and a number is in firsf field of the uncertainty
   	11.	Attempt to handle cases where level energy should probably be "E+X+Y" which is not currently allowed
   	12.	Added various additional checks for extraneous characters, embedded blanks, and junk
   	13.	Check for use of period instead of comma
   	14.	Added check for missing MS field if T1/2≤1 ms and not g.s.
   	15.	Cleared up problems in getting closest levels if "X+E" were used instead of "E+X"
   GTOL	1.	Added check on unrealistical large diagonal matrix elements to handle differences between LF95 and DVF
   	2.	Added check for level energies such as "SN+X" and ignore deexciting gammas
   	3.	Changed default ICC's from HSICC to BrIcc
   	4.	Fixed suprious error message when End of File followed an END record
   PANDORA	1.	Modified dimensions of adopted level parameters to be consistent with MAXLEV parameter.
   	2.	Added check for existence of source datasets before trying to create file with new XREF's.
   RULER	1.	Added logic in attempt to correctly calculate values if Γ's or very short T1/2's are given on Level records
   	2.	Completely rewrote logic for handling asymmetric uncertainties
   	3.	Added comparison of calculated BEλW's and BMλW's or old values, if kept, to RUL and noted discrepancies
   	4.	Checked to see if there was an existing BEλW or BMλW and missing multipolarity, δ, etc.
   	5.	Added four possible warnings to standard output: T1/2's in eV or as and insufficint data to derive Γγ's BEλW or BMλW found but no multipolarity, Δπ unknown, or mixed MULT with no δ Problem with asymmetric uncertainties Some BEλW's or BMλW's exceed RUL
   	6.	Corrected problem for mixed transitions which led to an old transition probability being kept if the other value agreed with the new value
   	7.	Cleaned up some problems in the comparison mode which resulted in confusion between IV and IS RUL's
   	8.	Cleaned up some formatting problems of new records
   	9.	Changed default for theoretical CC's from HSICC to BrIcc
   	10.	Automatically create a new file summarizing problems when calculating new values

In Progress and Future Plans

1. BrIcc:
   1. Extend Z range to 110
   2. Properly calculate α's when there is an E0 admixture.
   3. Correct problem in overestimating shell ratio uncertainties
   4. Possible update/extension of Ω(E0) tables
   5. 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
   6. Attempt to reduce size of report file
2. ComTrans: Correct possible problem which causes lose of trailing characters when translating "T" Comment records
3. GAMUT: To be done by LBNL (December 2005)
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.
