n1ndat

n1ndat is a computational tool designed for the analysis of nuclear data. It facilitates the processing, visualization, and comparison of experimental and theoretical nuclear datasets. The software is particularly useful for researchers in nuclear physics, nuclear chemistry, and related fields who work with large volumes of nuclear reaction data, decay properties, and nuclear structure information.

The core functionality of n1ndat includes tools for data retrieval from various nuclear databases, such as the Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF) and the Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion (JEFF) libraries. Users can select specific isotopes, reactions, or energy ranges to extract relevant data points. Furthermore, n1ndat offers plotting capabilities to visualize cross-sections, energy spectra, and other nuclear observables. This visual representation aids in identifying trends, anomalies, and comparing different datasets or models.

Beyond visualization, n1ndat provides functionalities for data manipulation and analysis. This can include performing calculations, fitting experimental data with theoretical models, and assessing the uncertainties associated with nuclear parameters. The software aims to streamline the workflow for nuclear data scientists, reducing the time spent on manual data handling and preparation. Its development is often driven by the need for efficient access to and analysis of the ever-growing body of nuclear information.
