RN_search_alpha_by_E: Search for alpha

Description

Search for alpha emission based on energy, half-life and minimum probability.

Usage

RN_search_alpha_by_E(
  E_min = 0,
  E_max = 10,
  min_half_life_seconds = NULL,
  max_half_life_seconds = NULL,
  min_prob = 0
)

Value

search results in order of half-life. Recommend assigning results to a viewable object, such as 'search_results'

Arguments

E_min

minimum energy in MeV, default = 0

E_max

maximum energy in MeV, default = 10

min_half_life_seconds

minimum half-life in seconds. Use multiplier as needed, e.g. 3 * 3600 for 3 hours. Default = NULL,

max_half_life_seconds

maximum half-life. See min_half_life_seconds.

min_prob

minimum probability with default = 0.

Examples

# between 7 and 8 MeV
search_results <- RN_search_alpha_by_E(7, 8)

# 1-4 MeV; half-life between 1 and 4 hours
search_results <- RN_search_alpha_by_E(1, 4, 1 * 3600, 4 * 3600)

# between 7 and 10 MeV with at least 1e-3 probability
search_results <- RN_search_alpha_by_E(7, 10, min_prob = 1e-3)
