Members of the US Nuclear Data Program are funded by
the Division of
Nuclear Physics,
Office
of High Energy and Nuclear Physics,
Office of Science
US Department of Energy. The current
Program Manager for Nuclear Theory is Dr. Gulsham Rai (designee).

Coordinating
Committee: |
The Coordinating Committee is composed of one
representative from each
organization participating in the nuclear data program. Its purpose is
to organize the work of the program. The technical work of the program is
carried out through two Working Groups. The present chairman of the
Coordinating Committee is Dr. Pavel
Oblozinsky, Head of the National Nuclear Data Center at Brookhaven
National Laboratory.

Working
Groups: |
- The following working groups are currently active:
- Nuclear Reaction Data:
- The Nuclear Reaction Data Working Group helps to coordinate
nuclear reaction cross section work being performed under the
USNDP. It is comprised of researchers from US national
laboratories and universities. The current chairman of the group
is Dr. Mark B. Chadwick, Los Alamos National Laboratory. A more
detailed description of the group's activities may be found
here.
- Nuclear Structure and Decay Data:
- This Working Group was formed in March 1998 to
coordinate the work of the evaluators in the United States and Canada
that provide evaluated nuclear structure and decay data for the
Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF) which is maintained by the
National Nuclear Data Center at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
The current chairman of the group is
Coral M. Baglin,
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
The leaders of the associated evaluation groups at the various
participating institutions are: Jagdish
K. Tuli,
Brookhaven National Laboratory;
Richard G. Helmer, Idaho Group;
Eric Norman, Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory; Balraj Singh, McMaster
University; Yurdanur Akovali, Oak
Ridge National Laboratory; and John H. Kelley,
Triangle Universities Nuclear
Laboratory.
If you have suggestions for improvements of the ENSDF data system,
or if you perceive what might be an error or an inconsistency in
the ENSDF data, please send the suggestion or a description of the
problem to the National Nuclear Data Center.

Task
Forces: |
- Task Forces are formed as needed to address specific needs of the U.S.
Nuclear Data Program and the user community. These task forces consist
of members from one or more of the working groups and interested persons
from the user community. At present, there are three task forces:
- Astrophysics (M. S. Smith, chair)
- Impact of Nuclear Data on Society (J.H. Kelley, chair)
- Rare Isotope Accelerators (M. B. Chadwick,
chair)
