Abstract
There exist several codes in the atomic physics community to generate atomic structure and transition probabilities freely and readily distributed to researchers outside atomic physics community, in plasma, astrophysical or nuclear physics communities. Users take these atomic physics codes to generate the necessary atomic data or modify the codes for their own applications. However, there has been very little effort to validate and verify the data sets generated by non-expert users. [...]
Highlights
This special issue aims to document each code’s approach and procedure to critically assess the uncertainties of theoretical atomic data will have a broad impact, for the atomic physics community, and for other communities interested in high quality atomic data
In a recent IAEA meeting, researchers who develop the atomic physics codes met to discuss procedures to validate data sets generated by these distributed atomic physics codes
They agreed to implement and document the procedures to insure and validate code-generated data for non-experts in their codes
Summary
This special issue aims to document each code’s approach and procedure to critically assess the uncertainties of theoretical atomic data will have a broad impact, for the atomic physics community, and for other communities interested in high quality atomic data.
