Abstract
In this report, we present our activities 2016 in the compilation of experimental
nuclear reaction data. In fiscal year from April 2016 to March 2017, we compiled 64
entries and transmitted 10 TRANS files .

1Introduction

The Nuclear Reaction Data Centre (JCPRG)[1] of Hokkaido University compiles charged-particle
induced nuclear reaction data obtained in the Japanese facilities in its own data format (NuclearReaction Data File: NRDF)[2] and in the international format (EXchange FORmat: EXFOR)[3].
EXFOR is maintained by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) [4] and the International
Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC). The NRDC collaborates on compilation ofexperimental data, development of related software for compilation and dissemination. JCPRG isa member of NRDC, and has contributs about 10 percent of the charged-particle nuclear reaction
data in the EXFOR library. In this report, we present the activities in 2016, the compilation ofexperimental nuclear data by JCPRG.

2Organization

The total staff includes the centre head (Kimura Masaaki), JCPRG staff (Shuichiro Ebata) andthree researchers (Dagvadorj Ichinkhorloo, Sarsembayeva Aiganym and Singh Jagjit).

3Compilation Activities

In 2016, we compiled 64 new papers reporting on nuclear reaction experimental data performed
in Japan. Every week, we assign each compiler one paper and check their compilation to finalizeby all the members in the compilation meeting. For higher quality of the compilation contents,
we contact the authors of a particular paper concerned to request them to provide their original
experimental data plotted in each figure in the paper to ensure the accuracy of the data compiledin the NRDF and the EXFOR library. If the original data could not be directly obtained from theauthors, we digitize the plotted curves on the figures in the paper with the digitization software
GSYS [5].

Journal Survey

The journal survey is carried out on the published papers by JCPRG in parallel with by IAEANDS. Sometimes we find some published papers that are not in the scope of EXFOR but are as ofNRDF. The lists of the surveyed journals are as follows:• Physical Review C (PRC)• Physical Review Letters (PRL)• Nuclear Physics A (NP/A)• Physics Letters B (PL/B)• The European Physical Journal A (EPJ/A)• Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology (NST)• Journal of Physics G (JP/G)• Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A (NIM/A)• Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B (NIM/B)• Progress of Theoretical Physics (PTP)• Journal of Physical Society of Japan (JPJ)• Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE)

5Transmitted File in 2016

The most important work is to translate compiled entries into the EXFOR format for the transmission of the experimental nuclear reaction data worldwide The transmission includes the newcompiled entries as well as the modified entries. In 2016, 10 TRANS files: E100, E101, E102, E103,E104, E105, E106, E107, E108, K016 and K017 are submitted to the IAEA. Table 1 represents
the TRANS files that include the new as well as modified entries with their accession number.
These 10 TRANS files, contain 64 EXFOR new entries and 11 modified entries. There are frequenttransmissions of the new entries, in which 10 registered entries contain the RIBF data.

6Compilation of Nuclear Reaction Data at RIBF

In the JCPRG, 10 papers were produced by using the RIBF data and those data satisfy thecompilation scope of the EXFOR library. We have established an effective procedure to compile
all of the new publications during the last six-year collaboration with the RIKEN Nishina Center.
Therefore, most of the recent experimental nuclear reaction data from the RIBF have successfully
been compiled in the EXFOR database.

7SummaryIn this article, we reported recent compilation work in the JCPRG. We summarized the status ofthe EXFOR file transmission: the 10 TRANS files, named as E101, E102, E103, E104, E105, E106,E107, E108, K016 and K017 were transmitted in fiscal year 2016.
