f_abc Coefficients for Lithium to Silicon Galactic Cosmic Ray Species

ASCII tables of f_abc coefficients ranking important reactions for the production of Galactic Cosmic Ray species from Lithium to Silicon (atomic numbers 3-14). The data was created by Yoann Génolini of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and used in the paper 'Current status and desired accuracy of the isotopic production cross-sections relevant to astrophysics of cosmic rays - II. Fluorine to Silicon (and updated LiBeB)'.

Use Cases

• Ranking nuclear reactions based on f_abc coefficients for cosmic ray propagation models.
• Calibrating or validating isotopic production cross-section models for elements from Lithium to Silicon.
• Studying the nuclear reaction network relevant to the astrophysics of Galactic Cosmic Rays.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a published astrophysics research paper, providing context.
• Coefficients are provided for a specific range of elements (Lithium to Silicon, Z=3-14).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
