    Question moved from here:

    Dear Dr.Meyer
    I wanna know something about the beta minus decay rates of those extreme neutron-rich nuclei in the my_net.xml file for the network calculation.So, from what model are they obtained?

     
    • Bradley S. Meyer

      Thanks for this question. The my_net.xml file has the data sources in it. To print those out, you can use a libnucnet example code. Type

      cd nucnet-tools-code/build

      make -f Makefile.libnucnet print_reactions

      cd ../libnucnet

      Now you can select the reactions to print out by XPath. For example, to get β- reactions, type:

      ./print_reactions ../data_pub/my_net.xml "[product[contains(.,'anti-neutrino')]]"

      The printout will have lines like:

       lr289 -> n + rf288 + electron + anti-neutrino_e  (Data source: mo03)
       er185 -> n + tm184 + electron + anti-neutrino_e  (Data source: mo03)
       xe158 -> cs158 + electron + anti-neutrino_e  (Data source: mo03)
      
       Number of reactions = 14231
      

      The data source is a code giving the source. You can then find that from the JINA reference labels page. As you'll see, mo03 refers to rates from Peter Moller and collaborators. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
