Participants
Consultant's Meeting on Updating Data Needs for Total Absorption Gamma-ray Spectroscopy (TAGS)
Objective
The objective of the meeting is to review the current state of affairs regarding TAGS facilities & measurements, TAGS data and decay data libraries, impact of new TAGS data on decay heat calculations, anti-neutrino spectra,etc, discuss new emerging data needs and make recommendations for the future.
Presentations and discussions will focus on the following items:
- new TAGS measurements and results for beta feedings (available since the last meeting in Dec. 2014)
- current status of decay data libraries wrt TAGS data
- impact of recent TAGS data (made available since last meeting in 2014) on decay heat calculations, anti-neutrino spectra
- assessments of main fission product contributors to decay heat and antineutrino spectra
- new priority tables for total absorption and high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements
- TAGS facilities and future perspectives
- repository of measured decay heat data
