ELECTRON7C PROPERT’IES ‘INFORMATION CENTER (EPTC) REACTlUATEll

Effective in January 1973, the Thermophysical Properties Research Center (TPRC) was assigned by the DOD the responsibility to operate the Electronic Properties Information Center (EPIC) formerly operated by the

-3-

Hughes Aircraft Co., Culver City, California. The Hughes operation which was formally discontinued on September 30, 1972, has been now transferred to TPRC and it is anticipated that normal operations can be resumed within a few months, when staffing and other logistics problems are resolved. TPRC thus will add basic electrical, electronic, electro-optical and mag- netic properties to its list of thermophysical properties.

It is believed that as a result of this merger, the joint operation will result in significant cost savings. Perhaps more important, however, the user public will be served more effectively from a single point of in- quiry concerning physical properties of matter which are often closely interrelated.

Efforts are underway at this time to carefully define the scope of coverage of the new EPIC. It is hoped that by a narrower delineation of properties covered, the limited available resources may be focused on producing an output of greater depth than has been possible in the past. The management of TPRC hopes that the user public on electronic properties will not be greatly inconvenienced during this transition period. Any questions or suggestions you may have concerning the new EPIC should be addressed to Dr. Y. S. Touloukian, Director, TPRC, West Lafayette, Ind. 47906; telephone 317-463-1581.

CHANGES TO COPE COLLECfTUN

The foliowing codes have been changed or added to our collection. Unless noted, requests should be accompanied by a full reel (2400') of magnetic tape.

PSR-BO/VIXEN The VIXEN code package has recently been updated with versions of the code which can process all the ENDF photon production formats, including those approved in 1972 by CSEXG. The VIXEN program performs format con- sistency and physics checks of photon production cross section data in ENDF format. The current update was made with the assistance of staff members of NNCSC-BNL and the Theoretical Division, LASL. Reference: LA- 4739 (ENDF-155). The new versions may be requested as PSR-3OA/VIXEN-CDC(l/73) (f or the CDC 6600) and PSR-30B/ VIXEN-IBM(l/73) (for the IBM 360).

PSR-46/XLACS Program to Produce Weighted Multigroup Neutron Cross Sections from ENDF/B for Use in XSDRN. Contributed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The package contains a stand alone version of the code. XLACS represents one module of the AMPX general purpose cross section processor under development at ORAL. FORTRAN IV; IBM 360/75/91.

le

It is to be noted that the data libraries prepared for use in CCC-199/ MCNA and CCC-200/MCP are currently available only in CDC 6600-compatible machine language. Code development is underway at LASL which is expected to make these code packages independent of hardware when complete and generally available.

CHANGES TO PATA COLLECTION

DLC-21/KXRAY Evaluated X-Ray Cross Section Library. Contributed by Kaman Sciences Corporation, Colorado Springs, Colorado, along with a FORTRAN IV retrieval program to list the library tape. Reference: DNA 2433F(KN-71-43l(R)).and DNA 2433F(KN-71-43l(SR)). An abstract of DLC-21 is attached as the last pages of this newsletter for in- sertion in your copy of ORNL-RSIC-30.

CHANGES TO TffE DNA WRUNG CROSS SECTION LSBRARY

The tantalum-181 evaluation has been modified as summarized below:

Ta-181 MAT 4179 MOD 1 - January 1973

The (n,2n) cross'section near threshold was revised to conform to the observed dip in gamma-ray production (ORAL-TM-3702). The (n,3n) and (n,n'> cross-sections were modified to correspond to the (n,2n) changes. The (n,Xyl component is represented as one discrete gamma ray (0.15 MeV) from the two lowest discrete levels with gamma rays from higher levels lumped into a continuum.

RSIC DATA LIBRARY DLC-21/KXRAY

1. NAME AND TITLE OF DATA LIBRARY

KXRAY: Evaluated X-Ray Cross Section Library.

2. NAME AND TITLE OF DATA RETRIEVAL PROGRAM

RDXRAY: A Program for Printing the KXRAY Data.

3. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This set of evaluated data for X-ray interactions is described in

Refs. l-3 and replaces an earlier c&pilation, also by Kaman? Two

other photon interaction libraries, DLC-7 and DLC-15, are also pack-

aged as part of the RSIC Data Library Collection, but their energy

range extends only to l-keV, The emphasis of DLC-21 is toward lower

energies, its range extending from 0.1 keV to 1 MeV, and the library

provides data in an energy region not covered by the others.

4. APPLICATIONS OF THE DATA

For use in general purpose X-ray transport codes.

5. SOURCE AND SCOPE OF THE DATA

The procedure used in the evaluation and compilation of the X-ray

library are described in Ref. 1. The first 34 pages of that report

are supplied in the documentation provided with DLC-21. Additional

useful information is given in Refs. 2 and 3.

Experimental X-ray attenuation cross sections for 94 elements

for energies between 0.1 keV and 1 MeV were obtained for the period

from 1920 through 1970. Exact photoelectric absorption values also

were calculated for hydrogen. Scattering cross sections were calculated

by relativistic SCP methods, These were subtracted from total attenua-

tion data, and the resulting photoelectric and measured photoelectric

absorption cross sections from 1 keV to 1 MeV were fit by a least

squares procedure to obtain best values. Interpolations were made for

elements and energy ranges for which there were no experimental data.

In addition, from 0.1 keV to between 1 keV and 10 keV non-relativistic,

-97-

21.2

self-consistent, independent electron theory was used to calculate

photoelectric absorption cross sections. Thus, for this energy range,

values based on least squares fits and on calculations are given, with the calculated values recommended. Scattering values were added to all

photoelectric cross sections to obtain a best set of attenuation cross

sections.

Values are tabulated in units of barns/atom as a function of

energy (keV). Data are given for photoelectric, coherent scattering,

incoherent scattering, incoherent scattering (absorption component), and total attenuation.

6. DISCUSSION OF THE DATA RETRIEVAL PROGRAM

RDXRAY is a program to read and list the contents of a tape con-

taining DLC-21/KXRAY.

7. CONTRIBUTOR

Kaman Sciencescorporation, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

8. DATA FORMAT AND COMPUTER

BCD or EBCDIC card image, IBM 360/75/91.

9. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

To list the entire library using RDXRAY requires approximately

5 minutes on the 360/75.
