Title: ACAB software upgrade

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/573997· OSTI ID:573997

This report address two issues, namely the ``Selection of the most current nuclear data libraries available`` and the ``User`s manual of the updated ACAB code``. A general summary of the major features of ACAB is provides in Section 1 which highlights the new capabilities included in the present version of ACAB. We address the issue of the nuclear data libraries selected as starting point in preparing the libraries to be used directly by ACAB. Section II describes the main features of the selected libraries. In Section IV, the impact of using these libraries in Inertial Fusion Energy, IFE, applications is assessed by comparing activation results obtained using different activation cross-sections data libraries. The points considered are the processing of libraries and libraries adapted to be directly read by ACAB. The ``processing`` efforts made within the frame of this project have been focused on the COLLAPSE code. Important modifications have been made, and in Section IV we provide an overall description of the new version. The content of the data bases employed by the updated ACAB code are described in Section V. The input data file for running ACAB is dealt with in Section VI, and some example problems are discussed in Section VII. Finally, regarding analysis of activation results we described in Section VIII the updated version of the CHAINS code.
