RSIC external link at ORNL is the original source of the decay data used in this calculator, and Grove Engineering are the originators of the microcomputer formatted files. The ion stopping powers were calculated with SRIM external link. The (a,n) neutron production cross sections are extracted from the JENDL-AN external link database.
