3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

An interactive program for allocating gamma-rays to an energy level scheme.
Procedure allows for searching for new candidate levels of the form:  1) L1 + G(A) + G(B) = L2
2) G(A) + G(B) = G(C)
3) G(A) + G(B) = C                (C is a user defined number)
4) L1 + G(A) + G(B) + G(C) = L2
Procedure indicates intensity balance of feed and decay of each energy level. Provides for optimization of a level energy (and associated error). Overall procedure allows for pre-defining of certain gamma-rays as belonging to particular regions of the level scheme, for example, high energy transition levels, or due to beta-  decay.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Search for cases in which the energy difference between two energy levels is equal to a gamma-ray energy within user-defined limits.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

Maximum number of gamma-rays      :   999
Maximum gamma ray energy          : 32000 units
Minimum gamma ray energy          :    10 units
Maximum gamma-ray intensity       : 32000 units
Minimum gamma-ray intensity       : 0.001 units
Maximum number of levels          :   255
Maximum level energy              : 32000 units
Minimum level energy              :    10 units
Maximum error on energy, intensity:    32 units
Minimum error on energy, intensity: 0.001 units
Maximum number of combinations    :  6400 (ca)
Maximum number of gamma-ray types :   127

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

Highly dependent on the number of transitions to be allocated and errors used. To generate the initial scheme (CRAG1) takes typically 10-15 minutes for 800 gamma-rays fitting to 120 levels.

IAEA1175/01

interactive programs; almost instantaneous responses.

7. UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM

Intensity balance display of the feeding level and decaying level for particular transition gamma-ray energies.
Selective inclusion/removal of gamma-rays in multiple fit situation.
Ability to force fit of gamma-ray even though errors dictate outside acceptance window.
