A new alternate version of PHTLIB. This new library contains a better description of the gamma decay process and should produce a better gamma emission spectrum. However, gamma emission from metastable states with halflives equal to or greater than 1 msec is blocked.


endf7u.xs: New xsdir lines for the Beta version of the ENDF/B-VII photonuclear library. These lines can be added to your existing xsdir file, after the "directory" line.

endf7u.tar.gz: Tar/gzip file consisting of a type 1 (ASCII)Beta version of the ENDF/B-VII photonuclear data library. This library is not the final official version of the ENDF/B-VII photonuclear library, which will be released later this year, so caution is advised on its use and feedback is requested if problems are found.
