Ptolmey GUI
The Code Download here is a wrapper for DWBA calculation using Ptolemy, developed by M. H.. Macfarlane and Steven C. Piper. This simpler the input by using global potentials. An input for a reaction reduced to a single line as
#reaction gs-spin orbital spin-pi(Ex) Ex ELab Potentials 11C(d,p)12C 3/2- 0p1/2 2+ 4.4 10MeV/u AK
Interface
There are two interfaces avalible, one is using CERN ROOT with Qt4 (which is legacy), another is based on python Qt6 (prefered).
CERN ROOT Qt4
This developed like on 2018 together with the HELIOS analysis packages, the code is written by C/C++. There are 5 elements
- Isotope.h -- for reading the mass table
- potential.h -- for the global optical potentials
- InFileCreator.h -- for creating the inFile used by Ptolemy
- ExtractXSec.h -- for extracting the Xsec distribution, saved it into txt file and root file.
- PlotTGraphTObject.h -- for plotting the distributions stored in the root file
Python Qt6
This is recently developed on 2024, Nov. This code only use the Isotopes.h, potential.h and inFileCreator.h. The Xsec extraction and plotting are pure python.
In addition, it can ask IAEA for excitation and plot the Ex levels.
