RESONANCETABLES is a software package to unify databases for thermal cross sections, resonance integrals, MACS and other average resonance parameters. The final database is the result of a priority setting of various original databases. The provided database can be used directly, or the code can be installed for user-specified reproduction of the database.
A description of the code and its options can be found in the RESONANCETABLES tutorial (pdf). The reference to be used for RESONANCETABLES is
D. Rochman, A.J. Koning, J.-Ch. Sublet, A statistical analysis of evaluated neutron resonances with TARES for JEFF-3.3, JENDL-4.0, ENDF/B-VIII.0 and TENDL-2019, Nuclear Data Sheets 163, 163 (2020).
The following are the prerequisites for compiling RESONANCETABLES:
- git (only if the package is downloaded via Github)
- a recent Fortran compiler such as gcc (gfortran)
To download RESONANCEtables, you can use one of the following options:
https://nds.iaea.org/talys/resonancetables.tar
tar zxf resonancetables.tar
git clone https://github.com/arjankoning1/resonancetables.git
To install RESONANCETABLES, you can use one of the following options:
git clone https://github.com/arjankoning1/resonancetables.git
cd resonancetables/source
make
git clone https://github.com/arjankoning1/resonancetables.git
cd resonancetables
code_build resonancetables
The above instructions will produce a resonancetables executable in the resonancetables/bin directory. The compiler and its flags can be set in either the ource/Makefile* or in code_build.
The resonancetables/ directory contains the following directories and files:

In total, you will need about 20 Mb of free disk space to install RESONANCETABLES.
A successful installation can be verified by simply running resonancetables in an empty directory. This will take about 30 seconds.
