EVA Simple Form Help

What is EVA?

EVA is the name of our database containing EVAluated data, taken from a large number of evaluated data libraries. The data are all stored in the ENDF format. The smallest unit of data that can be retrieved is a single type of data for a single reaction for a single nuclide.

Retrieve data

This mode of access provides an easy way to make simple searches of the EVA database. To specify a nuclide, choose the Element Z number from the pull-down menu, and specify the Atomic Mass (A). In the library section, the latest version of the main evaluated data libraries are available. Check the corresponding tickbox for the selection of your choice. The Reaction can be selected by either selecting the incoming and outgoing particle, or the appropriate reaction number as specified in the ENDF format (MF and MT values) selected from a pulldown menu. The database search is initiated by clicking on the Retrieve button.

Results of search

An index of the available data corresponding to the specified search criteria will be displayed. This shows the source of the data (from which evaluated library it came), the category of the data, the ENDF tape number, the ENDF material identification number, nuclide name and mass, data type, reaction type and number of lines (or records) of data. If you are satisfied that these data meet your requirements, then the data may be retrieved by clicking on the Retrieve the output file button.
