Abstract
The n_TOF neutron time-of-flight facility at CERN is used for high quality nuclear data measurements from thermal energy up to hundreds of MeV. In line with the CERN open data policy, the n_TOF Collaboration takes actions to preserve its unique data, facilitate access to them in standardised format, and allow their re-use by a wide community in the fields of nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics and various nuclear technologies. The present contribution briefly describes the n_TOF outcomes, as well as the status of dissemination and preservation of n_TOF final data in the international EXFOR library.
Highlights
The CERN n TOF facility [1] is used since 2001 for high quality nuclear data measurements
All evaluated nuclear reaction libraries are built from the international EXFOR library [2], which has been successfully developed and maintained for 50 years by the International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC)
The n TOF Collaboration strengthened the links with the IAEA Nuclear Data Section and the NEA Data Bank to improve the dissemination and preservation of its data through the EXFOR library
Summary
The CERN n TOF facility [1] is used since 2001 for high quality nuclear data measurements. In line with global standards in data preservation and Open Science, the n TOF Collaboration takes actions to preserve its unique data, facilitate access to them in standardised format, and allow their re-use by a wide community in the fields of nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics and various nuclear technologies for medical and energy applications. In the latter fields, all evaluated nuclear reaction libraries are built from the international EXFOR library [2], which has been successfully developed and maintained for 50 years by the International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC). The present paper describes the main n TOF outcomes, and the status of data dissemination activities
