EXchange FORmat (EXFOR) differential nuclear measurement data

As a founding centre of the international Nuclear Reaction Data Centres network (NRDC) the NEA Data Bank supports the compilation of experimental data into the world-wide EXFOR database, for all member country data measured in the following two areas:

• '2': neutron-induced reactions
• 'O': charged-particle-induced reactions

The Data Bank has uninterruptedly supported the EXFOR compilation effort since the creation of the NRDC network in 1966.

The IAEA maintains two important lists that summarise the:

• EXFOR entries that require corrections
• Articles that require EXFOR compilation

If you are aware of any other errors or data that should be compiled an included in EXFOR, please contact exfor@oecd-nea.org.

Project management

Currently, only areas 2 and O are managed in the NEA GitLab system. All version control, issue management and tracking is co-ordinated in this platform. Feedback to other NRDC centres is also managed in this system, and allocation lists for EXFOR compilers.

Access and version management

All EXFOR development at the NEA is performed using GitLab and is publicly accessible at the EXFOR repositories. The repositories are grouped into NEA-level compilation, NRDC-level version tracking and review as well as complementary tools and continuously updated and released version of the main EXFOR collection

Note

To contribute to the EXFOR resources listed above an NEA GitLab account is required. Please contact data@oecd-nea.org for more information.
