Objectives

To create, maintain and made available a reference database for Ion Beam Analysis (IBANDL)

Specific Objectives

To identify the most important nuclear reactions for IBA; search literature and electronic
databases and convert relevant nuclear reaction data to the format used in IBA simulation programs;
compare data from different sources and carry out measurements where no data are available or
unresolved discrepancies exist; apply model calculations to interpolate and/or evaluate cross sections;
and incorporate all measured and evaluated data into a database to be made available to the IBA community.

Impact

The whole Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) community is using the output of this CRP. Motivated be this CRP numerous experimental and theoretical activities were undertaken. The data obtained in this CRP and compiled into the IBANDL database are the default standard for the quantitative use of the analytical techniques of IBA in industrial and academic applications.

Relevance

Nuclear techniques are been used for peaceful purposes with standards maintained at the IAEA
