Welcome to the JINA Reaclib Database

This is a database for nuclear reaction rates to be used in astrophysical model calculations. To get help please check the help sidebar on the right hand side of the page or the help menu on the left hand side of the page.

Database: Contains multiple versions of each rate with one recommended rate. It is continuously updated as documented on the status/discussion page.

Status: To view and discuss ongoing and future updates click status/discussion on the left hand side.

Library: Set 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. To create your own account please click sign up.

Contact: For further information, direct your inquiries to reaclib at nscl dot msu dot edu.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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).
