KMFR: A combined model of photonuclear reactions

This is the combined model of photonuclear reactions (KMFR), a program for calculation of cross sections and particle emission spectra in nuclear reactions on medium and heavy nuclei triggered by photons with energies from the nucleon separation threshold (about 7--8 MeV) to the meson production energy (about 140 MeV). Cross sections of reactions with different numbers of outgoing neutrons and protons can be computed taking into account photon emission.

KMFR is being developed since 1990s by Vadim Orlin at the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Moscow State University. It is used for evaluation of photonuclear data, analysis of experimental results, and simulation.

Please note that this page is under construction and detailed documentation on the model and its usage is currently missing and will appear later.
