CINDA

Dear colleagues,
Below follows a status report on the CINDA book production to be discussed at the NRDC
meeting 25-28 September 2006. Please, consider this as a working paper, as some of the issues
are discussion points on how to present the NRDC, and the collective effort put into CINDA aswell as EXFOR.

CINDA Book draft
Prepared by the NEA Data Bank
Date 29 August 2006

Summary
The present draft contains about:• 15 pages of introductory pages• 60 pages of appendix, including journal and reaction code explanations, abbreviations, and parts
from LEXFOR• Z=0-1:
1 pages (book00.pdf)• Z=1:
113 pages (book01.pdf)• Z=2-10:
511 pages (book02.pdf)• Z=10-25:
753 pages (book10.pdf)• Z=26-50:
1694 pages (book26.pdf)• Z=51-75:
1110 pages (book51.pdf)• Z=76- :1382 pages (book76.pdf)•

In total

5564 pages

This will probably be divided into six volumes of about 920 pages each.

BackgroundAs we now have a totally different content of the CINDA data base, it was decided to continue the bookproduction of CINDA with a complete “archival” version. The last one was printed in 1990, and since then, it has
only been supplement editions. Below follow some comments and questions for discussion on how to present
CINDA in the best way.

CINDA book contents and text
The suggested draft is based on previous versions of the CINDA book. The main difference is of course thatCINDA now contains charged-particle data. This causes already a problem in using the full title:“The Index to Literature and Computer files on Microscopic Neutron Data”. The suggested name is instead“Comprehensive Index of Nuclear reaction Data”. We would also like to get rid of the CINDA2001 label, as theformat replace/has replaced the old format, why CINDA is enough.

Introduction
The introduction has been updated with new addresses (please check your center) and an updated foreword.

Annexes
The Appendices contain all codes used in EXFOR and CINDA, journal codes used in CINDA, and an excerpt ofLEXFOR adapted for CINDA.

CINDA listing
The CINDA book has been split on Z numbers into 25 elements per volume. Sort order for each isotope is:evaluated data, neutron data, photon data, followed by charged-particle data. The compounds for each element
follow in the end (not as a separate volume).
The draft of the CINDA book can be found at: http://www.nea.fr/html/dbdata/data/cindabook/
The complete text can be found in the two pdf files where all pages are collected:
CINDA2005-intro.pdf and CINDA2005-annex.pdf. Below follows some examples of pages from the draft.

FOREWORDCINDA, the Computer Index of Nuclear Reaction Data, contains bibliographical references to measurements,calculations, reviews and evaluations of neutron cross-sections and other microscopic neutron, gamma and charged particle data;
it includes also index references to computer libraries of numerical neutron data available from four regional neutron data centres.
The present archive issue, CINDA Archive 2005, is a complete index to the literature on nuclear reaction data publishedfrom 1935 to 2005. This issue, therefore, replaces the previous CINDA issue, CINDA-A (5 volumes, 1990) plus the supplemental
issue CINDA 2003, (as well as the accompanying CD-CINDA 2003).
The present issue comes with a DVD with the complete CINDA data base in electronic format, searchable through theprogram JANIS (included on the DVD), which was first introduced in the CINDA book in replacement of CD-CINDA for thesupplement issue CINDA2003. The display program JANIS has been developed at the NEA to facilitate searches in CINDA aswell as visualisation and manipulation of experimental and evaluated data. It can be found at www.nea.fr/janis for freedownload.
The compilation and publication of CINDA are the result of worldwide co-operation involving the following four datacentres. Each centre is responsible for compiling the CINDA entries from the literature published in a defined geographical area
given in brackets below:•The USA National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA (United States ofAmerica and Canada).

•

The Russian Nuclear Data Centre (RNDC) at the Fiziko-Energeticheskij Institut, Obninsk, Russian Federation(former USSR countries).

•TheOECDNuclear
EnergyAgency
DataBank(European OECD member countries in Western Europe and Japan).

•The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Nuclear Data Section in Vienna, Austria(all other countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Central and South America; as well as IAEA publications
and translation journals).

Besides the published CINDA books and CDs/DVDs, up-to-date computer retrievals for specified CINDA information
can be obtained via direct access to the on-line services as described on page I.8.

When using the on-line telnet access, the user is guided through the procedures by instructions. However, potential
users of the telnet retrieval system should contact one of the data centres for documentation. The CINDA web database
contains links to the experimental data compiled in EXFOR/ CSISRS. The NNDC, NEADB and IAEA web pages contain also
links to evaluated data (ENDF) and to selected journal abstracts.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO CINDA
The CINDA bibliography allows its users to find the references to specific types of cross-section information orother microscopic data from neutron- and charged-particle induced reactions, for any given target nucleus.
CINDA entries are sorted in this publication: first by element and mass number followed by incident particle (exceptfor evaluated data, that comes first for each isotope), and then by cross-section or other quantity. Within these isotopes andquantity groups, the entries are sorted by date of publication.
References relating to the same work are listed in block form. The first line of a block refers usually to one of themain publications. In subsequent lines belonging to the same block, the codes for quantity and laboratory are omitted, and, if aline is identical to the previous line, the energy range, the work type and the name of the first author are also omitted. When apreliminary publication (e.g. a progress report or an abstract) becomes superseded by a more recent or final paper, it is often
eliminated from the book. These entries are, however, kept in the CINDA master file and are also accessible via on-line
retrievals (see preceding page).
The centres would appreciate notice of any errors of omission or commission that users may find, so that the entries
concerned can be corrected before the next cumulation.
To obtain the maximum amount of information from CINDA, it is suggested that users read the detailed description
given in the Annex. However, the format of CINDA is rather simple and most of the conventions can be easily guessed. For
the majority of uses to which CINDA can be put, the brief description on the following two pages is all one needs.
