AbstractAbstract
[en] Activities: Nuclear Structure Data: ENSDF - This activity consists of mass chain evaluations, and our responsibilities are in the actinide region A=241-249. XUNDL - Involves the critical compilation of nuclear structure data from the most recent publications. Frequent one-to-one communications occur with authors of these papers to resolve inconsistencies in data and to obtain additional details of their data. At the request of the XUNDL Coordinator, current ORNL contribution is the compilation of one paper/month. Nuclear Astrophysics Data - Astrophysics data research is closely coupled with our program of measurements of reactions with unstable and stable nuclei. Captures on exotic Sn nuclei with mass greater than 132 is also being carried out, using information from a RMF-based structure code. Another project involves the conversion of two recent collections of point-wise thermonuclear reaction rates into analytical functions that can be used with a wide variety of astrophysical simulation codes. This conversion required fitting the point-wise rates with functions that range over 30 orders of magnitude to a precision of approximately 2%. Approximately 90 different rates are undergoing revised fit and will soon be available for use in nucleosynthesis codes. A paper describing this work is in preparation. Other reaction compilations are being explored for parameterization and eventual incorporation into standard reaction rate libraries. Future Activities - Future mass chains will be evaluated within the range A=241-249 assigned to ORNL, as well as others requested by USNDP/NNDC-BNL.
