Quantities and units for thick/thin target yields
CP-C/334, CP-C/340, CP-C/344, CP-D/397

I appreciate the addition of codes with “TT” into the table of CP-D/397. I would like to propose
further small corrections.
General remarksz First, let us confirm the dimension codes for thick target quantities because the definition for
double differential quantities are contradicted among memos.

currentzExpansions are little different between CP-C/334 and CP-C/344. For example, “,TTY/PY”
is “Thick target product yield” in CP-C/334, but “Saturated thick/thin target product yield”
in “CP-C/344”. I prefer to use the same expansions both in LEXFOR and in the dictionary if
the differences are meaningless. In the tables shown below, I assume that the terminology ofnewer memo CP-C/344 is correct, and I add “Saturated” and “/thin” for some codes. Thesewords should be added to the draft of LEXFOR (CP-C/334) if we need them, otherwise“Saturated” and “/thin” should be removed from the expansions of codes proposed below.

z

In the table below, some pairs have same expansions, e.g. both “,PY,,TT” and“,TTY/PY” are expanded as “Saturated thick/thin target product yield. Additional
explanation (e.g. “as a function of incident beam number/current”) may be needed.

z“PY,,DT” is not defined in LEXFOR, so I do not know the correct dimension code for it(now YLD).

zNo correction is made for thick target cross section and its differentials, because I do notunderstand the definition of thick target cross section.

Thick target quantities not listed in CP-C/344
with comments by JCPRG (in green bold italic)
These are all quantities with SF8 = TT. These have the same units dimension as thecorresponding quantities with blank SF8. Nevertheless it is important to include them in the listof thick target quantities (also in LEXFOR) for reference.
The following quantities are used in the database or in a PRELIM file or were proposed recentlyin a memo.

The following quantity's deletion was requested in CP-C/340. Since it is used (correctly, I believe) in entries E1756
and E1759, it will be kept. Yes. But “,MLT/DA/DE,,TT” in E1756 and E1759 was replaced by “,PY/DA/DE,,TT”
in PRELIM.E028 along the draft of LEXFOR (CP-C/334). So I propose to delete this code (or make obsolete).
