Transfer Reaction Induced Fission 238U(d,p-fission) with HELIOS

Experimental data from the HELIOS facility includes absolute transfer and transfer-induced fission cross sections for Uranium-238. The upload contains pre-sorted physics events, analysis code, an electronic logbook, and setup documentation. Samuel Bennett from the University of Manchester authored this dataset, which is shared under an Open Access license.

Use Cases

• Validate nuclear reaction models based on absolute (d,p) and (d,pf) cross sections.
• Analyze experimental setup and detector performance based on the included setup documentation and logbook.
• Reproduce physics histograms using the provided GitHub repository containing sorting and analysis code.

Strengths

• Includes absolute cross-section data for transfer and transfer-induced fission reactions.
• Provides a full suite of supporting materials: analysis code, experimental logbook, and setup details.
• Data is pre-sorted into built physics events, potentially reducing initial processing effort.

Limitations

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