U238 chain #10

Closed plasorak closed 4 years ago

plasorak commented 4 years ago

Here is the complete U238 chain, following the advice from François. I've added the Po214 in genbbsub, the source was there but maybe someone forgot to add it in the lists? Obviously it's very simple to remove it if this is deprecated code.

Here is the list of nuclides I've added:

I've run a job with DUNE simulations where the following are included:

   decay_chain:{
      isotope_0:"U238"
      isotope_1:"Th234"
      isotope_2:"Pa234m" // not sure whether it's ok? what does the "m" mean?
      isotope_3:"U234"
      isotope_4:"Th230"
      isotope_5:"Ra226"
      isotope_6:"Rn222"
      isotope_7:"Po218"
      isotope_8:"Pb214"
      isotope_9:"Bi214"
      isotope_10:"Pb210"
      isotope_11:"Bi210"
      isotope_12:"Po210"
   }

All worked fine, I can share the output summary file with you (but unfortunately github won't let me upload root files).

Pa234m where "m" stands for "metastable". The Th234 decays through beta minus process to the metastable excited state of Pa234, so the "m". Pa234m decays in turn to some exc. levels of U234.

I'll tag 1.0.6 ASAP.

plasorak commented 4 years ago

It's ok, I think we can play a bit more with it. Maybe add the Thorium chain to be extra sure

plasorak commented 4 years ago

From our end at least.

fmauger commented 4 years ago

No problem. We don't need these full chains for our other projects so please test it and even extend it. We will run with 1.0.5 on our side for SuperNEMO sim production. Let me know if you need some new tags on top of more of your PRs.

Yep, and thanks for swift responses this has been very helpful!
