TROPIC: A program for calculating reduced transition probabilities
Measurements of level lifetimes and the extracted transition probabilities are one of the cornerstones of nuclear structure physics. The reduced transition probabilities, yield information about the structure, wavefunctions, and matrix elements of excited states connected by electromagnetic transitions in a given nucleus. The arsenal of techniques for measuring lifetimes continues to expand and presently includes a wide range of values from femtoseconds to microseconds. While lifetime measurement techniques vary, the extraction of transition probabilities remains the same. RULER is the program used by the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) and ENDSF evaluations, while TRANSNUCLEAR was developed at the University of Cologne and modified by a variety of groups. This paper presents a new program TROPIC (TRansitiOn ProbabIlity Calculator), which is the most modern and efficient way to extract transition probabilities . TROPIC is a program written in Python 3 with the NumPy and SciPy libraries. This is in line with the advances that ENSDF and NNDC are making in moving away from the 80-character card punch input formats. Several design features were implemented to provide a streamlined process for the user and mitigate drawbacks that were present in other programs. The results from TROPIC have been compared with TRANSNUCLEAR and RULER. The answers are as expected identical, but the investment of input to output time is significantly reduced. TROPIC will be made available for public domain use, along with a user guide and example files.
Program summary
Program Title: TROPIC
CPC Library link to program files:https://doi.org/10.17632/958ygp2sb4.1
Nature of problem: An efficient way to calculate multiple reduced transition probabilities with minimal effort invested from the user.
Solution method: A Python 3 script has been developed to read in a CSV file containing all necessary input parameters, calculate the transition probabilities listed in the CSV file, and export the results in three different output formats.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
