IAEA1413 PGAA-IAEA.

1. NAME OR DESIGNATION OF PROGRAM:  PGAA-IAEA.

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

The Database for Prompt Gamma-ray Neutron Activation Analysis (PGAA) provides a variety of tables for all natural elements (from H to U) including the following data: isotopic composition, thermal radiative cross section (total and partial), Westcott g-factors, energy of the gamma rays (prompt and delayed), decay mode, half life and branching ratios.
PGAA can be used in fields such as material science, geology, mining, archeology, environment, food analysis and medecine.
The PGAA is delivered with:
- Database viewer for carying out searches by isotope, energy and cross-section
- An isotope explorer 2.2 ENSDF viewer for displaying the level-scheme drawings and tables.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME:  The code is interactive.

11. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:  Disk space requirement: 331Mb.

This version was tested at the NEA Databank on a with 3GHz INTEL Pentium 4.

13. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The database and the associated files are in EXCEL, PDF and TEXT formats.

This version was tested at the NEA Databank under WINDOWS XP Professional SP2 and SUSE linux 9.2 kernel 2.6.8.
EXCEL (WINDOWS) and STAROFFICE (linux) may be required.

14. OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION

The package is written in DOS, linux shell script, html, java.

A large number of modifications were necessary to run the code under linux, all involving the file and directory names which included mixed upper and lower case letters in the original version, while on the contrary the calling procedures uses either upper case only or lower case only letters. The problem is meaningless under WINDOWS.
