If iidfs=1 is specified, the multiplicity \(\nu\) and energy spectra of neutrons from neutron-induced fission taken from reference [1] are used instead of the nuclear library data for the following 18 nuclei: U-238, Pu-238, Pu-240, Pu-242, Cm-242, Cm-244, Cf-252, Th-232, U-232, U-233, U-234, U-235, U-236, Np-237, Pu-239, Pu-241, Am-241, and Bk-249.

With the idwba=1 setting, the discrete spectra calculated by the DWBA are added to the neutron and proton spectra obtained using other nuclear reaction models for the following reactions:

\(^7\) Li \((p,n)^7\) Be reactions at 30–400 MeV
\(^9\) Be \((p,n)^9\) B reactions at 10–50 MeV
\(^{6,7}\) Li \((d,n)^{7,8}\) Be and \(^{6,7}\) Li \((d,p)^{7,8}\) Li reactions at 10–50 MeV
\(^9\) Be \((d,n)^{10}\) B and \(^9\) Be \((d,p)^{10}\) Be reactions at 5–25 MeV
\(^{12,13}\) C \((d,n)^{13,14}\) and \(^{12,13}\) C \((d,p)^{13,14}\) C reactions at 10–50 MeV

See the reference [2] for more details.

If a particle with a decay channel (See Table 4.7.3 ) has an energy lower than the cut-off, the particle decays completely. Negative-charged pions ( \(\pi^-\) ) with the setting of npidk=0 are forced to be absorbed by nucleus. If \(\pi^-\) is not able to be absorbed in the program, the particle decays (to prevent an infinite calculation loop).
