1 TUNL Contributions in the US Nuclear Data Program Nuclear Structure Data Evaluation Program J.H. Kelley - USNDP Structure Group Leader: (6 months FTE), J. Purcell (emeritus 0.1 FTE), and G. Sheu (Adm. Assist. 0.75 FTE) (Kent Leung (post doc 0.5 FTE)) We are responsible for nuclear structure evaluation in the A=2-20 mass region Energy Levels of Light Nuclei reviews published in Nuclear Physics A ENSDF files for A=2-20 XUNDL from A=2-20 Web interface for A=3-20 Information This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics.

2 Evaluation Activities Energy Levels of Light Nuclei –Follow style of Fay Ajzenberg-Selove –Broad scope of reactions is included – discussion format. –Adopted levels/gammas, Energy Level Diagrams ENSDF –More rigorous information required –Better documentation of original sources –reaction data sets/decay data sets –Adopted levels/gammas, decay widths, etc.

3 Evaluation Activities TUNL assumed responsibility for producing evaluations in the nuclear mass region A=3-20 in 1993 following the retirement of Fay Ajzenberg-Selove, and we continued publications in the “Energy Levels of Light Nuclei” series. However we have not matched her pace of reviewing about three mass-chains per year at any time. Our average has been evaluation of less than mass-chain per year. With serious reflection that considers both the great value of the breadth of information provided in the “Energy Levels of Light Nuclei” publications and the NSDD/ENSDF network expected 7-10 year periodicity for reviews of a given nuclear mass-chain, the only feasible direction for our future evaluations is to focus solely on ENSDF reviews to be published in the Nuclear Data Sheets. Following publication of the review of A=12 nuclei, we will produce only the more focused ENSDF format nuclear structure data reviews for the light mass region.

4 Recent Evaluation Activities Work in progress: –A=12 Evaluation for “Energy Levels” –Preparing A=12 ENSDF file –Preparing NDS articles on A=2 and A=3 ENSDF datasets for 15,16,18 Be, 6,7 B, 14 F, 15 Ne, 18-20 Mg Updated  -n,  -chx data sets –  : 14 Be, 14 B, 19 N, 20 N –  -n: 12 Be, 14 Be, 14 B, 15 B, 16 C, 17 N, 18 C, 18 N, 19 B, 19 N, 20 C, 20 N –  -p: 9 C, 11 Be –  : 9 C, 11 Be, 14 Be, 17 N, 18 N

5 Compilation Activities Committed to XUNDL (A=2-20) –138 sets from 116 articles since 2/2013 (5-6/month) –Organizational Workshop May 16-17 at TUNL Estimate total network 0.5 FTE (perhaps a low estimate) Contributes to future ENSDF evaluations Requires input from additional network evaluators to survive New commitments from several laboratories

6 Other Compilation Activities Compilation of ground state decay &  -decay references and data Compilation of (p,X) and ( ,X) excitation functions Compilation of thermal neutron capture references and data TUNL Dissertations- –http://www.tunl.duke.edu/~gsheu/Theses/TUNL_Theses.shtml
