  2. Gamma emission in pre-equilibrium reactions: Single-particle radiative mechanism (Běták & Dobeš, Akkermans & Gruppelaar) Probability of g emission (E1 transitions) Spin variables (Obložinský & Chadwick) Final RCM on Therapeutic Radionuclides, IAEA, May/June 2006

  3. Computer codes with pre-equilibrium g emission and released to public PEQGM (1983) (spin-independent version, obsolete already) GNASH (1992, 1995) (also spin variables and discrete levels) (recent versions strongly improved and enlarged, but not available anymore) PEQAG (1989) (update of PEQGM) PEGAS (1993) (also spin variables) & DEGAS (plus discrete levels) “Do-all” nuclear reactions codes with pre-eq. g EMPIRE-II version 2.18 Mondovi (2002) version 2.19 Lodi (2005) TALYS (2005) Final RCM on Therapeutic Radionuclides, IAEA, May/June 2006

  22. Unsolved EMPIRE problems: What is the origin of the differences between TALYS and EMPIRE, if they are so similar? GCASC does not work (spectra with GCASC=1 are identical to those =0) DEGAS not used for gammas. Why (and how to correct it?) Why the nonphysical sharp decrease above 18 MeV? Final RCM on Therapeutic Radionuclides, IAEA, May/June 2006

  23. CONCLUSIONS Pre-eq. g emission useful to describe cross sections and g spectra, if one is not just in double-magic region. Therein, DSD (or CDSD) model is more reliable. Physically both describe the same situation with emphasis on different aspects of the reality. Two released “do-all” nuclear codes TALYS and EMPIRE give similar results away of closed shells. In their vicinity, there is no clear preference of either of the codes which might be universally valid. Final RCM on Therapeutic Radionuclides, IAEA, May/June 2006
