Abstract:
The software package ECISVIEW is a graphical interface built around themulti-disciplinary nuclear reaction code ECIS-95. The basic purpose of
ECISVIEW is the possibility to change optical potential parameters
interactively, with the keyboard or the mouse, and to display the calculated
result immediately on the screen. The key feature of the working method is
that the user can specify the value of optical potential parameters as any
mathematical function of the energy, A, Z or user defined parameters. This
enables us to obtain conveniently the optimal optical potential parameters
for a given nucleus over the whole energy region of interest. ECISVIEW makes
it possible to simultaneously study the dependence of all calculated angular
distributions, polarizations and total cross sections on optical model
parameters. This method is perhaps more than 100 times faster than the
conventional method of preparing an input file, running the code, editing the
output file and finally viewing the data with a graphical program. ECISVIEW
has been developed at ECN in Petten, Netherlands, and has been extensively
used at CEA, Bruyeres-le-Chatel, France. A spherical 0-200 MeV nucleon
optical model for "9"0Zr is presented as an example. 4 figs., 1 tab., 5 refs.
