All source codes are located in /export/home/astro/src. A .zip file containing the codes is here. For a description of the available programs, see below:

• RELKIN - RELativistic KINematics
• SPANC - SplitPole ANalysisCode
• PLOT - simulates different reactions
• DET - focal plane detector simulation program

To run any of the programs listed above, telnet to iotwo.physics.yale.edu. Once there, enter: /export/home/astro/bin/program-name

The relativistic kinematics program RELKIN was written by former graduate students to calculate reaction kinematics parameters of interest to SplitPole users. Upon starting the program, the user is presented with a menu listing the input options. Choose an option by entering the corresponding integer (1-7) and enter the appropriate value at the prompt. The reaction input includes the following:

• A and Z of the reaction nuclei
  Example: for ¹²C(¹⁰B,t)¹⁹Ne, enter 6,12,5,10,1,3
• beam energy (default = 10MeV)
• lab angle of the ejectile (default = 10deg)
• excitation energies of the recoil nucleus (default = 0 MeV)
• excitation energies of the ejectile (default = 0 MeV)

As each input is entered, RELKIN successively returns you to the main menu. When finished, enter 5 to run the calculations. Besides displaying the input values, the program also returns the following:

• ground state masses and Q-value in MeV
• angle in the CMS (t3cms)
• lab energies of the ejectile and recoil (E3lab, E4lab)
• the Jacobian for particle 3 for transfoming between lab and CMS (jac3)
• kinematic shift parameter (k)
• magnetic rigidity of the ejectile (QBrho)

SPANC

FORTRAN code currently only runs on Vax computers! Talk to Alan Chen.

This program was written by Kazim Yildiz (Creation Date: April 22, 1995), and tries to merge the relkin, sp and reaction programs. The program reads from an input file, which is prompted for at startup. The name of the sample input file is test.inp. Output is written to spanc.out.

Det

FORTRAN code currently only runs on Vax computers! Talk to Alan Chen.

This program was written by Kazim Yildiz (Creation Date: April 22, 1995). It simulates the split pole detector. The program reads from an input file, which is prompted for at startup. The name of the sample input file is det.inp. Output is in 2 files:

det.out

Text file containing summary information.

det.kumac

PAW command file to produce plots of particle groups on various 2d histogram views.
