FORTRAN PROGRAMS FOR COMPUTING ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS AND Q VALUES OF NUCLEAR REACTIONS

Three Fortran programs, written for the IBM-704 computer, process the data from multichannel pulse-height analyzers in order to derive the Q values and differential cross sections of the groups observed. The standard deviations of the derived Q values and of the differential cross sections are also computed. With another program that was written, the effects of impurities can be subtracted from pulse-height spectra observed when a target contains a mixture of nuclides. A fifth program computes the centerof-mass transformation quantities by means of the exact relativistic equations. (auth
