NEA-1652 GEM.

1. NAME OR DESIGNATION OF PROGRAM:  GEM.

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

GEM is a Monte Carlo code which simulates a decaying process of an excited nucleus. GEM calculates the types, numbers, and kinetic energies of particles emitted from an excited nucleus. Input file which includes the mass, charge, excitation energy, kinetic energy and the direction of motion of the excited nuclei produced after cascade or preequilibrium stage, is needed for execution.  In order to estimate cross sections of particle productions, output file needs to be edited.

4. METHODS

The code is based on the generalised evaporation model [1] and the Atchison fission model [F. Atchison, Jul-conf-34 KFA-Julich, Germany (1980)].  Type and kinetic energy of an emitted particle are randomly selected according to the probability distribution.  A simulation continues as far as evaporation is energetically possible.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM:  None.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME:  Depends on the mass and excitation energy of a target.

7. UNUSUAL FEATURES:  None.

8. RELATED OR AUXILIARY PROGRAMS:  None.

14. OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION OR RESTRICTIONS

The excited energy of a residual nucleus produced after evaporation process is not written in an output file.  To write this value in the output file, the following lines in 'main.f' should be modified. Add 'e1' in the write statements on line 165 and 187 (just before format statement 602 and 604), then the excitation energy of a residual nucleus can be obtained.
