Acquisition and Data Analysis Programs
We have many specially developed programs for data-acquisition and
analysis, most of them running on the main computer, Sun Sparcstation
lynx.uio.no, some additionally or exclusively on two older machines,
a ND-5800 and an Apollo DN4500.
The programs directly involved in acquisition are
real-time programs.
- SIRIUS:
This is the main data-acquisition and on-line analysis program at the
lab, running on the Sun.
- MAMA:
Program to manipulate large 2-dimensional matrices. It contains more than
80 commands. Some examples are: read, write, add, subtract, multiply,
smooth, compress, project, cut, etc. In addition, the package contains
more complex functions like
-- unfolding of NaI 
-spectrum.
-- folding spectra with NaI response function.
-- extraction of nuclear temperature from
-spectra.
MAMA example
- MIMA (formerly KELVIN):
Reduced version of MAMA.
- CSMA:
Cranked shell model with asymmetric nuclear shape.
- DECAY:
Calculates the -decay for a Fermi gas system.
The lowest excitation region is simulated using experimental data.
- EMMA:
Calculates E1, M1, E2, M2 transition probabilities between single
quasiparticle states from the RPC program (see below).
- GAP:
Solves the BCS gap-equation.
- HFBC:
Hartree--Fock--Bogoliobov Cranking model based on Nilsson
orbitals from the RPC program (see below).
- KINEMATIC:
Calculates relativistic energy loss at a given scattering angle.
Bethes formula. Straggeling. Also available on IBM-PC
- PAW:
CERN-developed Physics Analysis Workstation running on the Apollo
and the Sun Sparcstation.
- PF:
Ge-spectrum manipulation program. Fast peak search, peak
centroid
and area estimation from observed data.
- RPC:
Rotor particle coupling model based on Nilsson orbitals.
- SHIVA:
This is the old data-acquisition and on-line analysis program for the
ND-5800.
- DAISY:
Program controlling the front-end part of the system, normally operated
from SHIVA.
- REDUC:
Program for off-line data reduction on ND-5800. Accepts both Exabyte
and STC magnetic tape as I/O devices.
- PROPLOT:
Plotting program based on the GPGS-F graphics package. Output
on HP-7550A pen plotter. Spectra stored on disc in Nordic format.
Runs on the ND-120 part of the ND-5800 computer.
- PCPLOT:
Subset of PROPLOT. Output on IBM compatible PC. Runs on the
ND-120 part of the ND-5800 computer.
