Subject:

Too high level energies coded under E-LVL

EXFOR data sets coded with level energies (E-LVL) higher than 20 MeV (giantresonance region) were searched. Within 88 subentries, 26 erroneous subentries wereidentified. In addition one mistake in Q-VAL(-ERR) was manually identified.
General remark – Use LVL-NUMB when level energies are not in articles!!
Levels must be coded with the heading LVL-NUMB when the level energy is not given.
Some compilers take level energies from nuclear database (e.g., ENSDF) whenauthors do not give the level energies explicitly (except for the ground state, which wealways set as E-LVL=0, and we observe this may be a source of coding mistake. Also
we cannot trust one-to-one relation between the level index and level energy for highexcitation levels.
ExampleLVL-NUMB =2 when (d,p 2 ) reaction data are given without the 2ndlevel energy.
