Submitting Data to the Reactions DatabaseThe compilers of the Reaction Database regularly scan the archives and literature to locate suitable new data sets for inclusion in the database, often contacting the experiments directly to obtain the exact numerical data. If you have, or know of, data which you think should be in the database, then please email Mike Whalley about this. The criteria for data to be included is that it be data of a publishable form and not preliminary data. Data from conferences often fall into the latter catagory. The format we accept data in is very wide and generally we require only a flat file containing the numerical values. Postscript and pdf figures are not suitable. Ideally the format should be: xlow xhigh y +stat -stat +sys1 -sys1 +sys2 -sys2 ...... where:xlow and xhigh are the xbin edges y is the measured quantity +stat and -stat are the positive and negative statistical errors (could also be +-stat) +sysn and -sysn are any number of positive and negative systematic errors (again could be +-sysn) You can also include other things like xfocus ( mean of the distribution within the bin ) just specify the column definitions when submitting the data. |
