Consultants' Meeting on INDEN for Light Elements
Background
The two meetings on R-matrix codes for charged-particle reactions in the resolved-resonance region and INDEN for Light Elements, which were held back-to-back and were hosted on different webpages, are now merged into one meeting called INDEN for Light Elements (INDEN-LE) comprising two separate sessions, one on R-matrix calculations for charged-particle-induced reactions and the other on neutron-induced reactions.
The purpose of this meeting is to review the progress in the assignments agreed upon at the previous meetings which were held in May 2019.
In particular, for the R-matrix calculations for charged-particle reactions, we are going to discuss the results of the two exercises, Test 2 and Test 3, that aim at comparing the minimization and evaluation techniques implemented in each of the R-matrix code and used by the evaluator participating in the project, respectively. The exercises are all performed on the charged-particle-induced reactions leading to the formation of the 7Be system and are defined in INDC(NDS)-0787.
For the INDEN-LE meeting, we are going to review the status of the evaluations of the n+9Be, n+14,15N, n+16O, and n+23Na systems, undertaken by the evaluators participating in the INDEN-LE project as reported in INDC(NDS)-0788.
(α,n) reactions for applications: a special session will be dedicated to (α,n) reactions on Thursday 18th March, where several groups within the INDEN-LE project and beyond, working on measurements, modelling and evaluation of (α,n) reactions for various applications, will present their work. The ultimate goal of this session is to assess the need for a concerted and coordinated effort to address the various applications needs -spanning spent fuel management, new tolerant reactor fuels, astro-particle and nuclear astrophysics, and detector development- for reliable and up-to-date (α,n) data.
The report on the presentations and technical discussions of the meetings is published as INDC(NDS)-0827.
