Description
Our theoretical understanding of low-energy nuclear reactions induced by light particles has reached a reasonable degree of reliability, and nuclear modeling codes are widely used to assess and guide nuclear data evaluations (with measurements remaining crucial for data testing and benchmarking). Since such modeling codes require a considerable amount of numerical input, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has initiated extensive efforts to develop a library of validated nuclear-model input parameters, referred to as the Reference Input Parameter Library (RIPL. Research activities officially started in 1993. The last RIPL coordinated research project on “ Recommended Input Parameter Library for Fission Cross Section Calculations” (RIPL-4) was brought to a successful conclusion in 2024, after many years of challenging work carried out through four consecutive IAEA coordinated research projects. A summary of RIPL-4 outcomes will be given.
