Abstract
The International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC) provides nuclear reaction data services to users through collection and compilation of experimental nuclear reaction data in the EXFOR database. The database includes neutron-induced, charged-particle-induced, and photonuclear data for projectile energies up to 1 GeV. Sophisticated search options and user-friendly retrieval interface for downloading data in different formats have been developed at IAEA Nuclear Data Section. Additional output options such as data plotting capabilities are provided as well. The database is constantly revised and extended and at present contains about 20,000 experimental works accumulated in its 40 years of history. The paper will present several recent IAEA NDS activities related to the development of the EXFOR database and retrieval system.
Highlights
Retrieval system developed at NDS allows sophisticated search that include EXFOR and a number of relevant databases such as Evaluated Nuclear Reaction Data (ENDFs), Evaluated Nuclear Structure and Decay Data (ENSDF), Bibliographic databases (CINDA, NSR) [2]
Collection, compilation and dissemination of experimental nuclear reaction data and the related bibliographic information in the EXFOR database is the main task of the International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC)
Specialized software related to compilation work, digitization of graphical images, and checking for compliances with EXFOR format have been developed and are available for downloading at the NRDC website
Summary
EPJ Web of Conferences (http://www-nds.iaea.org/exfor/) or stand-alone CD-ROM distributed by NDS at requests. Retrieval system developed at NDS allows sophisticated search that include EXFOR and a number of relevant databases such as Evaluated Nuclear Reaction Data (ENDFs), Evaluated Nuclear Structure and Decay Data (ENSDF), Bibliographic databases (CINDA, NSR) [2]. The paper describes the basic principles of EXFOR compilation and data retrieval as well some recent and future developments aimed at improved qualities and present-day needs in science and technologies
