I am trying to extract information from ENSDF database (https://www-nds.iaea.org/public/ensdf_pgm/). I have successfully found how to reconstruct beta spectrum with betashape, a tool developed at LNHB (http://www.lnhb.fr/rd-activities/spectrum-processing-software/). However, I do not know if tools exist to extract daughter nuclides, branching ratio and half-life. Furthermore, I am also looking for a tool that could extract the decay emissions such as gamma, X, Auger and internal conversion electrons ...etc as I would like to get the whole decay emissions. Could someone please let me know if tools exist or if I have to write my own program to do it.
Thanks a lot for your help and best regards,
Thomas
The ICRP Publication 107 (https://www.icrp.org/publication.asp?id=ICRP%20Publication%20107) may be helpful for you - this database contains the spectra, branching ratios, daughter nuclides, etc. that you've mentioned. The electronic supplementary information contains a GUI program to easily access the data in tabular or plot format, and also included are formatted text files you could cut/paste from, or parse with your own program.
Dear Lukas,
Thank you very much for the information. Indeed the data from ICRP107 are extracted from an ENSDF database. ICRP107 has been published in 2008. I would like to extract more recent data from the last ENSDF database because I believe more radionuclides are known and available. If I understand correctly, data from ICRP107 are obtained thanks to a software named EDISTR04. Unfortunately, I cannot find this software. Do you have knowledge of software such as EDISTR04 that could help me to extract data from the recent ENSDF database?
Thank you,
Thomas
I haven't used the EDISTR04 code, but I think you can request it from the RSICC here: https://rsicc.ornl.gov/Default.aspx
