The reaclib data base has moved to a new home on jinaweb.org - Welcome! This move and significant recoding was necessary to satisfy security requirements. Thank you for your patience during the transition process. Most of the functionality has been restored except for the graphical display of reaction rates, which is still under construction. If you see any other issues please let us know.

This is a database for nuclear reaction rates to be used in astrophysical model calculations.
To get help please visit the help page.

For more details and REACLIB citation, see Cyburt et al., ApJS 189 (2010) 240.

Database:

Contains multiple versions of each rate with one recommended rate.
One can find rates using our search engine
or by typing in the specific reaction URL
[e.g. http://jinaweb.org/reaclib/db/na21(p,g)]

Libraries:

Libraries are collections of rates selected from the database.
Public reaclib releases are available as libraries and represent snapshots of the database on a particular date.
Users can also define their own libraries and make them public to document the rates they used.

Account:

You are not required to have an account to browse and download data.
You will only need an account to create and manage your own libraries.

Notes:

1. How are reverse rates calculated? or What does the "v" flag mean?
   • The "v" flag in REACLIB format, identifies "reverse" rates
   • "Reverse" rates are calculated via detailed balance (without partition functions)
   • Therefore, rates with this flag must be corrected to include partition function modifications.
2. On Al26 ground and meta stable states in REACLIB.
   • Al-6 refers to the ground state of Al26.
   • Al*6 refers to the meta-stable state of Al26.
   • Al26 refers to the thermal population of Al-6 & Al*6.
3. On the ground state weak decays under the labels wc07 & mo03.
   • these weak rates are the partial decay rates, not total rates.
   • beta-delayed particle emission is presented in the database.
4. On the pp→d weak reactions.
   • the 2 rates presented are labeled "ec" and "bet+"
   • they must be accounted for specially (as they aren't beta-decays or electron captures).
