2. CONTRIBUTOR

United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Winfrith, Dorchester, Dorset, England through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.

3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

Fortran IV, Assembler Language; IBM 360/370.

4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

LEAP calculates the scattering law from a phonon frequency function which may contain solid or both solid and diffusive modes, but it will deal only with continuous or piece-wise continuous spectra. ADDELT receives a scattering law as input and adds to it the effect of delta functions in the phonon frequency spectrum. LEAP and ADDELT may be used in tandem when the phonon frequency spectrum contains solid, or both solid and diffusive modes, and delta functions.

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

LEAP treats a phonon frequency spectrum by using either the "phonon series" expansion to calculate the scattering law, S(alpha,beta), or the saddle point method. A set of criteria is provided to determine which technique is applicable for particular values of alpha and beta. The calculation completed by LEAP is provided as input for ADDELT.

ADDELT calculates the scattering law, S(alpha,beta), from a series of up to 50 delta functions. It requires a scattering law defined over an (alpha,beta) mesh as input (which is provided by LEAP) and adds to it the effect of delta functions in phonon frequency spectra.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

None noted.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

No study has been made by RSIC of typical running times for LEAP-ADDELT.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

LEAP-ADDELT is operable on the IBM 360/370 computers.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Fortran IV and Assembler Language compilers are required.
