Agenda Structure Group Discussions 2013
NSDD/ENSDF Long Range Planning: (Monday Afternoon) – Priorities and characterization of user base What is the relation between ENSDF and other databases? (DDEP, EGAF, AME/MIRD, RIPL/NuDat/ENDF) – How do undergraduates contribute? - Kelley – How do postdocs contribute? - Kelley – Status, outlook and commitment Necessary levels for sustained activity Five year outlook for present manpower – What is a feasible hiring strategy? – What are the plans for Nuclear Data Sheets?
Priorities and characterization of user base
– What is the relation between ENSDF and other databases? (DDEP, EGAF, AME/MIRD, RIPL/NuDat/ENDF)
Priorities and characterization of user base – What is the relation between ENSDF and other databases? (DDEP, EGAF, AME/MIRD, RIPL/NuDat/ENDF) – Is ENSDF autonomous? how? how not?
Priorities and characterization of user base – What is the relation between ENSDF and other databases? (DDEP, EGAF, AME/MIRD, RIPL/NuDat/ENDF) – Is ENSDF autonomous? how? how not? – Are other DB’s autonomous? How How not?
How do undergraduates contribute? - Kelley Who’s evaluating your nuclear data? What is the Sr FTE per undergraduate FTE? How long before undergraduates payoff?
How do postdocs contribute? - Kelley Are post-docs interested in evaluation positions? Are post-docs meeting the needs of ENSDF? USNDP? Are staff positions a better investment? Are post-docs interested in long-term evaluation positions?
– Status, outlook and commitment Necessary levels for sustained activity Five year outlook for present manpower
– What is a feasible hiring strategy? Are 2-3 year postdoc positions the solution to fill the void of our retiring evaluators? Are BNL contracts the solution to fill the void of our retiring evaluators?
