Database for time-of-flight spectra including covariances

A data format for time-of-flight spectra (transmission, reaction and self-indication yields) and their covariance matrices based on the AGS (Analysis of Geel Spectra) format is discussed in collaboration between EC-JRC IRMM and IAEA-NDS for the EXFOR library. Experimentalists are encouraged to consider the uncertainty propagation following the AGS principle and submission of their data to the International Networks Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC) for EXFOR compilation using a proposed template.
