13.3. Evaluated nuclear data libraries

The PHITS package includes the evaluated nuclear data libraries of JENDL-4.0 for neutrons below 20 MeV for 405 nuclei listed below, JENDL-5 [1] for neutrons and protons below 200 MeV for approximately 30 selected nuclei listed below, and JENDL-5 for deuteron below 100 MeV/n for 9 nuclei listed below. Note that the file size of the complete dataset of JENDL-5 is too large to be included in the PHITS package. If you wish to use JENDL-5 for protons and neutrons for other nuclides, or JENDL-5 for photo-nuclear and alpha-induced nuclear reactions, please follow the instructions below.

  1. Run jendl5_setup_win.exe or jendl5_setup_mac_lin.sh in phits/XS folder. If you cannot find these files in the folder, please update PHITS after version 3.34.

  2. Specify the installation method and the folder to be used.

  3. Specify the address file, xsdir.jnd, to be edited.

  4. Select the libraries you wish to install.

The installer performs the following steps.

  1. Download and extract the selected JENDL-5 compressed data in 7zip format. This process can be skipped depending on the selection made in step 2 above.

  2. Add the address information of the newly downloaded data to the specified xsdir file. In this case, JENDL-5 is used in priority over other libraries for all nuclides because it is appended before the information of JENDL-4, on the line above [2]. Also, JENDL-5 data, data/natural_abundance_20c.dat, will be used for natural element expansions.

If you wish to use nuclear data libraries other than JENDL, please see Q1.6: Is it possible to use nuclear data libraries other than JENDL in PHITS?. In addition, phits/XS folder contains other cross-section data such as the thermal neutron scattering kernel based on JENDL-4.0, tsl, photo-atomic data library based on EPDL97 [3], pho, electro-atomic data library based on EEDL [4], ele , not used any more, photo- and electro-atomic data for EGS mode, egs, ionization and excitation cross-section data for track-structure mode, tra, and photo-atomic data library for adjoint mode, adj.
