If SF5 contains the branch code UND (see note-7) (undefined), the particle codes given in SF3 
represent only the sum of emitted nucleons, implying that the product nucleus coded 
in SF4 has been formed via different reaction channels.  The code (DEF) in SF5 
denotes that it is not evident from the publication whether the reaction channel 
is undefined or defined.

SF4. Reaction Product.  In general, the heaviest of the products is defined as the 
reaction product (also called residual nucleus).  In the case of two reaction 
products with equal mass, the one with the larger Z is considered as the heavier 
product.  Exceptions or special cases are:

* 	If SF5 contains the code SEQ, indicating that the sequence of several outgoing 
	particles and/or processes coded in SF3 is meaningful, the nuclide to be 
	coded in SF4 is the heaviest of the final products.
	Example:	(5-B-10(N,A+T)2-HE-4,SEQ,SIG)

* 	Where emission cross sections, production cross sections, product yields, etc., 
	are given for specified nuclides, particles, or gammas, the product considered 
	is defined as the reaction product (even if it is not the heaviest of several 
	reaction products).

	This subfield contains:
	either a blank, 
		Example: 	(26-FE-56(N,EL),,WID)
	or a nuclide code.
		Example: 	(51-SB-123(N,G)51-SB-124-M1+M2/T)
	or,	a variable nucleus codes:
		Example:	(92-U-235(N,F)ELEM/MASS,CUM,FY)

Quantity consists of four subfields, each separated by a comma.  All combinations 
of codes allowed in the quantity field are given in Dictionary 36.

SF5 Branch.  Indicates a partial reaction, e.g., to one of several energy levels.

SF6 Parameter.  Indicates the reaction parameter given, e.g., differential cross section.

SF7 Particle Considered.  Indicates to which of several outgoing particles 
the quantity refers (see note-8). Multiple codes, e.g., for the correlation between outgoing 
particles, all particles are separated by a slash.

SF8 Modifier.  Contains information on the representation of the data, e.g., relative data.

Data Type Field. Indicates whether the data are experimental, 
theoretical, evaluated, etc.  Codes are found in Dictionary 35. 

Variable Nucleus.  For certain processes, the data table may contain yield or 
production cross sections for several nuclei which are entered as variables 
in the data table.  In this case, either SF1 or SF4 of the REACTION keyword 
contain one of the following codes:
	ELEM 	- if the Z (charge number) of the nuclide is given in the data table.
	MASS 	- if the A (mass number) of the nuclide is given in the data table.
	ELEM/MASS	- if the Z and A of the nuclide are given in the data table.

The nuclei are entered in the common data or data table as variables under 
the data headings ELEMENT and/or MASS with the units NO-DIM.

If the data headings ELEMENT and MASS are used, a third field with the 
data heading ISOMER is used when isomer states are specified:
	0.	= ground state (used only if nuclide has also an isomeric state),
	1.	= first metastable state (or the metastable state when only one is known),
	2.	= second metastable state, etc.

Decay data for each entry under ELEMENT/MASS(ISOMER) and their related parent or 
daughter nuclides may be given in the usual way under the information-identifier 
keyword DECAY-DATA.  Entries under the data headings ELEMENT/MASS(ISOMER) are 
linked to entries under DECAY-DATA (and RAD-DET, if present) by means of a decay flag (see note-9).

	Example:
	BIB
	REACTION	(...(...,F)ELEM/MASS,...)
	ENDBIB
	NOCOMMON
	DATA
	EN	ELEM	MASS	ISOMER	DATA
	MEV	NO-DIM	NO-DIM	NO-DIM	B

	 ...	 61.	 148.	 1.	 ...
	 ...	 61.	 149.	 	 ...
	 ...	 62.	 149.		 ...


Variable Number of Emitted Nucleons.  Where mass and element distributions of 
product nuclei have been measured, the sum of outgoing neutrons and protons may 
be entered as variables in the data table.  In this case SF3 of the REACTION 
keyword contains at least one of the following codes:
	XN	- variable number of neutrons given in the data table.
	YP	- variable number of protons given in the data table.

The numerical values of the multiplicity factors X and Y are entered in the data 
table under the data headings N-OUT and P-OUT, respectively.

	Example:
	BIB
	REACTION	(...(...,XN+YP)...)
	...
	ENDBIB
	NOCOMMON
	DATA
	EN	N-OUT	P-OUT	DATA
	MEV	NO-DIM	NO-DIM	B
	...
	...
	...
	ENDDATA




Reaction Combinations.  For experimental data sets referring to complex 
combinations of materials and reactions, the code units defined in this 
section can be connected into a single machine-retrievable field, with 
appropriate separators and properly balanced parentheses.  The complete 
reaction combination is enclosed in parentheses.

The following reaction combinations are defined:
	((------)+(-----))	Sum of 2 or more quantities (see LEXFOR, Sums).
	((------)-(-----))	Difference between 2 or more quantities.
	((------)*(-----))	Product of 2 or more quantities (see LEXFOR, Products). 
	((------)/(-----))	Ratio of 2 or more quantities (see LEXFOR, Ratios).
	((------)//(-----))	Ratio of 2 quantities, where the numerator and denominator 
				refer to different values for one or more independent 
				variables (see LEXFOR, Ratios).
	((------)=(-----))	Tautologies (see LEXFOR, Tautologies for usage).

When a reaction combination contains the separator "//", the data table will contain 
at least one independent variable pair with the data heading extensions -NM and -DN.

	Example:
	BIB
	REACTION	(((92-U-238(N,F)ELEM/MASS,CUM,FY,,FIS)/
			(92-U-238(N,F)42-MO-99,CUM,FY,,FIS))//
