30 Nuclear Data Nuclear Data is a separate field of study from Nuclear Physics Not research Aim is produce complete, accurate, tested and reliable databases suitable for a range of applications Thus Nuclear Data forms the basis for many other studies

31 Perceptions Most non-nuclear Data specialists assume that the data exists and are adequate in the same way as a telephone directory exists Data are free Available for all applications particularly new ones If data exist for fission studies then they should also be available for fusion!

32 Reality Data are not free Require extension and improvement as new applications arise Since measurement usually made relative to a standard, as these improve then original data need to be recalculated Rather few experts International collaboration essential Core role for a body such as IAEA

33 Three Units 17 staff

34 IAEA Nuclear Data Section Role Provision of atomic and nuclear data services to scientists worldwide (data libraries, bibliographies, documents) through the internet, CD and other media Coordination of three international atomic and nuclear data networks Production of new databases through Coordinated Research Projects (CRPs) and Data Development projects Assist developing countries through technology transfer activities

35 IAEA Nuclear Data Section The development and maintenance of nuclear technologies rely on the availability of atomic, molecular and nuclear data Essential data include: Energy-dependent reaction probabilities (cross sections) Energy and angular distributions of reaction products Atomic and nuclear properties of excited states Nuclear Structure-Radioactive decay data

36 IAEA Nuclear Data Section La NDS cumple su rol mediante: Reuniones Tecnicas con expertos(consultant Meeting o Technical Meeting) Contratos o Acuerdos con expertos Viaje de personal para trabajo tecnico, o de capacitacion Trabajo tecnico del personal

101 Beta-delayed neutron emission evaluation ( ) D. Abriola Motivation: Beta-delayed neutrons are important for energy production, astrophysics and nuclear theory Most of the data available are from precursors coming from fission fragments New experimental facilities are available which will be able to produce new precursors in the neutron-rich region Last evaluation with theoretical comparisons is from 2002 There is no database that compiles all relevant data
