Test cases

EMPIRE home

Three test cases are included below in order to test EMPIRE-II installation and to provide a brief introduction to the use of the code. They illustrate basic features only and do not address variety of possible options. Each test case is given as a tarred and gzipped file (.tgz) containing input and all output files created during the run. When downloaded and saved in the empire/work directory these files should be untarred and uncompressed with the command:

tar xvzf 'test_case_name'.tgz

This will create a number of files which can be viewed using GUI after an appropriate test_case_name (without extension) is introduced into the GUI 'Project' field. Note that running calculations will overwrite output files. To be able to compare the results one should make a copy of the input file and run this instead of the original one.

• eu153dir.tgz - Coupled Channel (CC) calculations of inelastic scattering and (n,g) reaction on 153-Eu at incident energy of 1 MeV using RIPL optical model potentials (omp). Note that CC #2004 omp is used for total, elastic, and inelastic scattering calculations with ECIS (DIRPOT=-2004 option in the input) while spherical RIPL omp #221 (OMPOT=-221 option in the input) is used for the calculation of all neutron transmission coefficients. This is consistent with the DIRECT=1 option selected in the input. Use of the CC omp in all neutron channels would require lengthy DIRECT=2 option.
  
• eu153preq.tgz - Calculations of neutron induced reactions on 153-Eu at 14 MeV using combined MSD, MSC, Exciton and HF models.
  
• nb93.tgz (11.6 Mb!) - Full calculations of neutron induced reactions on 93-Nb in the energy range from 0.001 to 27 MeV using combined MSD, MSC, Exciton and HF models. This test case includes ENDF formatting and plots comparing theoretical predictions with experimental results.
