FISPACT-II employs the standard ENDF reaction MTs to identify incident particle reactions, residual nuclide production, dpa and kerma, depending on the library used and the completeness of the data. Below are descriptive lists of ENDF reaction MTs. For more information on the MT numbers, see the [https://www.bnl.gov/isd/documents/70393.pdf ENDF Format Manual].

FISPACT-II employs the standard ENDF reaction <tt>mt</tt> and other numbers to identify incident particle reactions, residual nuclide production, dpa, kerma, decay processes, fission yields, etc, depending on the library used and the completeness of the data. Below are descriptive lists which serve as a dictionary between the ENDF-6 values, corresponding FISPACT-II internal values, physical description and the details of the code use of these data. For more information on the the ENDF-6 format, see the [https://www.bnl.gov/isd/documents/70393.pdf ENDF-6 Manual].

==Neutron-induced reaction <tt>mt</tt> numbers==

 +
The table below lists all of the possible incident-particle reaction <tt>mt</tt> numbers that are read by FISPACT-II, as well as their products, N-Z modification of the parent, number of and species of the secondary particles. Note that two values <tt>mt</tt>=5,18 result in the removal of the parent nuclide and residuals are handled by a separate set of rules that employ <tt>mf</tt>=10 residual yields or <tt>mf</tt>=8 fission yields. For <tt>mf</tt>=10, the  residual product data must be available in the incident-particle files and for <tt>mf</tt>=8 the user must employ the [[Keyword:USEFISSION | '''USEFISSION''']] keyword and specify the requested fission yields. For more information see the [[Getting started: fission decay heat pulse | fission example simulation]].

==Derived induced-particle reaction <tt>mt</tt> numbers==
 +
 +
Several nuclear data values are not provided in the raw ENDF data, requiring summation where desired (such as gas production by species) or semi-empirical formulae to generate derived quantities such as ''kerma'' or ''dpa''. These are done through the nuclear data processing scripts that are used to generate the nuclear data supplied with FISPACT-II. The following data are listed with their <tt>mt</tt> numbers and a physical description.
 +
 +
Note that these are for user information and do not affect the nuclide inventories, hence the lack of columns from the previous table.

==Radioactive decay processes==
 +
 +
FISPACT-II allows 27 decay processes and 9 decay radiation types that are used to follow the nuclide inventory and generate decay radiation source terms, respectively. These are summarised below.
 +
 +
===Decay types===
 +
 +
The table below gives the internal <tt>IRT</tt> numbers and their ENDF-6 correspondence, as well as the parent nuclide N-Z shift, number and species of secondaries and how the code reports the decay in output data. Note that thres values <tt>IRT</tt>=6,17,27 result in the removal of the parent nuclide and residuals are handled by a separate set of rules that employ spontaneous fission yields. The user must employ the [[Keyword:READSF | '''READSF''']] keyword and include a <tt>sf_endf</tt> directory in the <tt>files</tt> file.

Latest revision as of 16:03, 13 July 2017

FISPACT-II employs the standard ENDF reaction mt and other numbers to identify incident particle reactions, residual nuclide production, dpa, kerma, decay processes, fission yields, etc, depending on the library used and the completeness of the data. Below are descriptive lists which serve as a dictionary between the ENDF-6 values, corresponding FISPACT-II internal values, physical description and the details of the code use of these data. For more information on the the ENDF-6 format, see the ENDF-6 Manual.

Neutron-induced reaction mt numbers

The table below lists all of the possible incident-particle reaction mt numbers that are read by FISPACT-II, as well as their products, N-Z modification of the parent, number of and species of the secondary particles. Note that two values mt=5,18 result in the removal of the parent nuclide and residuals are handled by a separate set of rules that employ mf=10 residual yields or mf=8 fission yields. For mf=10, the residual product data must be available in the incident-particle files and for mf=8 the user must employ the USEFISSION keyword and specify the requested fission yields. For more information see the fission example simulation.

Derived induced-particle reaction mt numbers

Several nuclear data values are not provided in the raw ENDF data, requiring summation where desired (such as gas production by species) or semi-empirical formulae to generate derived quantities such as kerma or dpa. These are done through the nuclear data processing scripts that are used to generate the nuclear data supplied with FISPACT-II. The following data are listed with their mt numbers and a physical description.

Note that these are for user information and do not affect the nuclide inventories, hence the lack of columns from the previous table.

Radioactive decay processes

FISPACT-II allows 27 decay processes and 9 decay radiation types that are used to follow the nuclide inventory and generate decay radiation source terms, respectively. These are summarised below.

Decay types

The table below gives the internal IRT numbers and their ENDF-6 correspondence, as well as the parent nuclide N-Z shift, number and species of secondaries and how the code reports the decay in output data. Note that thres values IRT=6,17,27 result in the removal of the parent nuclide and residuals are handled by a separate set of rules that employ spontaneous fission yields. The user must employ the READSF keyword and include a sf_endf directory in the files file.
