Abstract
In this report, we present our activities in 2014, concerning the compilation of experimental nuclear reaction data. In this fiscal year, we compiled 23 entries andtransmitted 9 TRANS files from April 2013 to March 2014.

Introduction

Experimental data are found in EXFOR database, which is maintained by the International AtomicEnergy Agency (IAEA) and the International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC).
The NRDC involves in database compilation and developed related software. One of the NRDC staﬀ
is the Hokkaido University Nuclear Reaction Data Centre (JCPRG) [1]. JCPRG has contributed
about 10 percent of the data on charged-particle nuclear reactions in the EXFOR library. In theJCPRG, the compiled nuclear reaction data is available on the online search system of the NRDF
and the EXFOR library [2], respectively. In this report, we present our activities in 2014, concerning
the compilation of experimental nuclear reaction data by JCPRG.

2Organization

The total staﬀ includes two JCPRG staﬀ (Masayuki Aikawa and Shuichiro Ebata) and four researchers (Dagvadorj Ichinkhorloo, Shoutarou Imai, Sarsembaeva Aiganym and Zhou Bo) carryout compilation work.

Compilation activities

Every week, we assign one paper for compiler and check by all in the compilation meetings which
are finalized as for compilation by the all the members. We contact authors to provide the original
numerical data plotted in each figure to ensure the accuracy of data compiled in the NRDF andthe EXFOR library. If the original data could not be obtained from the corresponding author,
we digitized numerical data from the plotted figures with the digitization software GSYS [3]. The
numerical data for almost all of the EXFOR entries compiled in 2014 were proofread by authors,
and a detailed description of the entries has been revised according to the authors’ comments.

4Journal Survey

The journal survey is carried out on the published papers in parallel with the IAEA-NDS survey.
Sometimes we find some published papers that are not necessary for the EXFOR but are in thescope of NRDF. The lists of the surveyed journals are as following:• 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 and Experimental Physics (PTEP)• Journal of Physical Society of Japan (JPJ)• Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE)

5Transmitted file in 2014

First we prepare a PRELIM version and send to the IAEA-NDS for comments and suggestions forthe transmission of the compiled files. After modifying the entries of transmitted files according to
the comments and suggestions from IAEA-NDS and other nuclear data centres, we send the final
version of TRANS files to IAEA. In 2014, 9 TRANS files: E088, E089, E090, E091, E092, E093,E094, E095 and E096 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 9 TRANS files, contain 23EXFOR new entries and 22 modified entries. There are frequent transmissions of the new entries,in which 11 registered entries contain the RIBF data.

6Compilation of nuclear reaction data at RIBF

In the JCPRG, the compiled nuclear reaction data is available on the online search system of theNRDF and the EXFOR library [2], respectively. In addition to the collaboration with the NRDC
network, JCPRG established a collaborative research contract with the RIKEN Nishina Center in2010, to increase the availability of the nuclear reaction data produced at the RIBF. The compiled
files of the nuclear data produced at the RIBF are translated to the EXFOR format for the benefitof nuclear data users. In this article, we report on our activities in 2014, concerning the compilationof experimental nuclear reaction data from RIKEN. In 2014, we compiled sixteen papers from theRIBF data in the compilation scope of the EXFOR library were found.

22SummaryIn this article, we reported recent compilation works in the JCPRG. We summarized the status of
the EXFOR file transmission: the 9 TRANS files, named as E088, E089, E090, E091, E092, E093,E094, E095 and E096 were transmitted in fiscal year 2014. In these files, data of sixteen papers
from the RIBF experiments are included.
