Release Date: 15 May 1998
The library contains input
parameters for theoretical calculations of nuclear reaction cross sections. Incident
and outgoing particles can be n, p, d, t, 3-He, 4-He, and gamma with energies up to about
100 MeV.
Numerical data are arranged in
seven segments/directories (RIPL Starter File):
| No | Directory | Contents |
| 1 | MASSES | Atomic Masses and Deformations |
| 2 | LEVELS | Discrete Level Schemes |
| 3 | RESONANCES | Average Neutron Resonance Parameters |
| 4 | OPTICAL | Optical Model Parameters |
| 5 | DENSITIES | Level Densities (Total, Fission, Partial) |
| 6 | GAMMA | Gamma-Ray Strength Functions |
| 7 | ANGULAR | Continuum Angular Distributions |
RIPL is being developed under an international project coordinated by the IAEA.
Phase I of the project, conducted in 1994-1997, resulted in the creation of the RIPL
Starter File (numerical data) and the RIPL Handbook (description).
Principal and most useful role in the
project played official participants, followed by active additions from other contributors
as listed below. Tribute to many further scientists whose work so valuably
contributed to the library is reflected, to the extent possible, in the file names and in
due reference to their work.
