GEFY: GEF-based fission-fragment Yield library in ENDF format
Here you can download GEF-based fission-fragment yields in ENDF format.
GEFY 8.1 (July 2020):
Independent and cumulative fission-fragment yields.
Multi-chance fission is considered.
Uncertainties reflect the uncertainties of the model. They are determined from calculations with perturbed model parameters. For this purpose, a series of calculations was performed with different sets of model parameters. Each parameter in these sets was varied randomly with a standard variation corresponding to the uncertainty of the respective parameter deduced from the fit to experimental fission data.
Isomeric independent yields and cumulative yields were calculated using the decay data of JEFF 3.3. Nuclides with half-lives longer than 1.E6 years were treated as stable. Very neutron-rich fragments, for which no experimental decay information is available, were assumed to decay by beta-minus decay only.
The calculations have been performed with the GEF code, version version 2020/1.1.
Correction of interpolation scheme applied in January 2021.

Uncertainties reflect the uncertainties of the model. They are determined from calculations with perturbed model parameters. For this purpose, a series of calculations was performed with different sets of model parameters. Each parameter in these sets was varied randomly with a standard variation corresponding to the uncertainty of the respective parameter deduced from the fit to experimental fission data.

GEFY 6.1 (November 2016):
Independent and cumulative fission-fragment yields.
Multi-chance fission is considered.
Uncertainties reflect the uncertainties of the model. They are determined from calculations with perturbed model parameters. For this purpose, a series of calculations was performed with different sets of model parameters. Each parameter in these sets was varied randomly with a standard variation corresponding to the uncertainty of the respective parameter deduced from the fit to experimental fission data.
Cumulative yields were calculated using the decay data of JEFF 3.1.1 with some extensions from ENSDF (Nuclear Wallet Cards database version of 6/1/2012). Nuclides with half-lives longer than 1.E6 years were treated as stable. Very neutron-rich fragments for which no experimental decay information is available were assumed to decay by beta-minus decay only.
The calculations have been performed with the GEF code, version 2016/1.1 or version 2016/1.2 (see notice below).
Notice: We observed that GEF-2016/V1.1 overestimates the fragment excitation energies for incoming neutron energies above 10 MeV. New GEFY tables with the corrected version GEF-2016/V1.2 are successively provided. The random files are already calculated with GEF-2016/V1.2.

Neutron-induced fission of target nuclei in isomeric states (half-life > 1 s). En=thermal to En=30 MeV in 59 steps. (Calculation with 106 events per system, produced with version GEF-2016/1.1)

See below the table with isomeric states.
For a limited number of systems, a series of random files are provided here.
These random files provide fission-fragment yields in ENDF format with an indirect numerical presentation of variances and covariances according to the GEF model. For each system and each energy, a series of 500 calculations were performed with perturbed parameters. The parameters of each of these calculations were chosen independently within the uncertainty range of the GEF model.
The tables are intended for model calculations based on fission yields in ENDF format. By performing these calculations with the different random files for the same system and the same incoming-neutron energy, the uncertainties and the covariances of the yields according to the GEF model are included in the calculation. This procedure has several advantages. For example, no special format for the covariances is required and the production of random fission-yield data on the basis of the covariances is not needed. Moreover, the restriction by the functional form of the multivariate distribution is not an issue.
| Step | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy/MeV | Thermal | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 0.5 | 0.6 | 0.7 | 0.8 | 0.9 | 1.0 |
| Step | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | |||
| Energy/MeV | 1.5 | 2.0 | 2.5 | 3.0 | 3.5 | 4.0 | 4.5 | 5.0 |
The calculations have been performed with the GEF code, version 2016/1.2.
Explanation of the file names: GEFY_92_235_n_Ei_Rj.rnd contains the calculated yields for neutron-induced fission from a 235U target, incident-neutron energy step number "i" and perturbed-parameter set "j". (Note that all perturbed parameter sets are different. They are all chosen independently at random. Also those with the same number but for different targets are not the same.)
GEFY 5.3 (March 2016):
Random files of independent and cumulative fission-fragment yields for neutron-induced fission.
This is a special collection of tables that provides fission-fragment yields in ENDF format with an indirect numerical presentation of variances and covariances according to the GEF model. For each system and each energy, a series of calculations was performed with perturbed parameters. The parameters of each of these calculations were chosen independently within the uncertainty range of the GEF model. The tables are intended for model calculations based on fission yields in ENDF format. By performing these calculations with the different random files for the same system and the same incoming-neutron energy, the uncertainties and the covariances of the yields according to the GEF model are included in the calculation. This procedure has several advantages. For example, no special format for the covarainces is needed, and the production of random fission-yield data on the basis of the covariances is not needed. Moreover, the restriction by the functional form of the multivariate distribution is not an issue.
The calculations have been performed with the GEF code, version 2015/2.3.
Due to the relatively large size of the files, GEFY 5.3 covers only a rather limited number of nuclei and does not include spontaneous fission for the moment. If there is some interest, the tables could be extended.

GEFY 5.2 (September 2015):
Independent and cumulative fission-fragment yields.
Multi-chance fission is considered.
Uncertainties reflect the uncertainties of the model. They are determined from calculations with perturbed model parameters. For this purpose, a series of calculations was performed with different sets of model parameters. Each parameter in these sets was varied randomly with a standard variation corresponding to the uncertainty of the respective parameter deduced from the fit to experimental fission data.
Cumulative yields were calculated using the decay data of JEFF 3.1.1 with some extensions from ENSDF (Nuclear Wallet Cards database version of 6/1/2012). Nuclides with half-lives longer than 1.E6 years were treated as stable. Very neutron-rich fragments for which no experimental decay information is available were assumed to decay by beta-minus emision only.
The calculations have been performed with the GEF code, version 2015/2.2. (New features: Improved description of fission from high excitation energies.)
