Agenda

Structure Group Discussions 2013

• NSDD/ENSDF Long Range Planning: (Monday Afternoon)

– Priorities and characterization of user base • What is the relation between ENSDF and other

databases? (DDEP, EGAF, AME/MIRD, RIPL/NuDat/ENDF)

– How do undergraduates contribute? - Kelley – How do postdocs contribute? - Kelley – Status, outlook and commitment • Necessary levels for sustained activity • Five year outlook for present manpower

– What is a feasible hiring strategy? – What are the plans for Nuclear Data Sheets?

Priorities and characterization of user base

Priorities and characterization of user base– What is the relation between ENSDF and other

– Are other DB’s autonomous?• How• How not?

How do undergraduates contribute? - Kelley Who’s evaluating your nuclear data?What is the Sr FTE per undergraduate FTE?How long before undergraduates payoff?

How do postdocs contribute? - Kelley • Are post-docs interested in evaluation positions?• Are post-docs meeting the needs of ENSDF? USNDP?• Are staff positions a better investment?• Are post-docs interested in long-term evaluation

positions?

– Status, outlook and commitment • Necessary levels for sustained activity • Five year outlook for present manpower

– What is a feasible hiring strategy?• Are 2-3 year postdoc positions the solution to fill the

void of our retiring evaluators?• Are BNL contracts the solution to fill the void of our

retiring evaluators?

– What are the plans for Nuclear Data Sheets?

• Evaluation Formats and Procedures: (Tuesday Morning)

Horizontal Evaluations - ongoing – IAEA-CRP on "Nuclear Data for Charged-particle Monitor Reactions and Medical

Isotope Production": ANL – IAEA-CRP on beta-N: related to it is horizontal compilation and evaluation of Pn and

associated half-lives – Compilation and evaluation of BE2 for first 2+ states in e-e nuclei – EGAF: Firestone

Horizontal Evaluations - developing – IAEA Consultants Meeting on a Database of Photon Strength Data: Firestone

Conferences – ND2013: Sonzogni – INPC2013 conference in Florence & HIAS13 Symposium: ANL – Low-energy community meeting: – IAEA Technical Meeting on "Auger Electron Emission Following Nuclear Decay: Data

Needs for Medical Applications": ANL – XUNDL Workshop: (covered in XUNDL status report)

• Specific Examples on: (Wednesday Morning)Measurements • Why do we need new data on 67Cu?: Kondev• Beta- and gamma-ray emission probabilities in

decay of 67Cu: Chen • Another interesting case of ICC measurement: the

88-keV, M4 transition in 127mTe: NicaSystematics Motivation for better data/new evaluation • Neutron induced fission measurements at TUNL -
