Figure 14

  To make the data for Figure 14, follow these steps to run multi-zone calculations. First, however, disable 18F(n,α)15N by creating a reaction rate modification view. In particular, uncomment and edit the example view in projects/nucnet-tools-code/data_pub/simple_snII__zone.xml:

    <optional_properties>  
 
      ...  
 
      <property  
        name = "nuclide xpath"  
        tag1 = "rate modification view"  
        tag2 = "1"  
      ></property>  
 
      <property  
        name = "reaction xpath"  
        tag1 = "rate modification view"  
        tag2 = "1"  
      >[reactant = 'f18' and reactant = 'n' and product = 'n15']</property>  
 
      <property  
        name = "factor"  
        tag1 = "rate modification view"  
        tag2 = "1"  
      >0.</property>  
 
    </optional_properties>

This causes the reaction rates for any nuclei and reactions satisfying the XPath expressions to be multiplied by the factor zero during the calculation. Now run the calculation as you did here.

Next, disable 18F(n,p)18O with the following reaction rate modification view XPath expressions:

    <optional_properties>  
 
      ...  
 
      <property  
        name = "nuclide xpath"  
        tag1 = "rate modification view"  
        tag2 = "1"  
      ></property>  
 
      <property  
        name = "reaction xpath"  
        tag1 = "rate modification view"  
        tag2 = "1"  
      >[reactant = 'f18' and reactant = 'n' and product = 'o18']</property>  
 
      <property  
        name = "factor"  
        tag1 = "rate modification view"  
        tag2 = "1"  
      >0.</property>  
 
    </optional_properties>

Run the calculation again as you did here.

Finally, disable all 18F neutron captures by editing the reaction rate modification view XPath expressions as follows:

    <optional_properties>  
 
      ...  
 
      <property  
        name = "nuclide xpath"  
        tag1 = "rate modification view"  
        tag2 = "1"  
      ></property>  
 
      <property  
        name = "reaction xpath"  
        tag1 = "rate modification view"  
        tag2 = "1"  
      >[reactant = 'f18' and reactant = 'n']</property>  
 
      <property  
        name = "factor"  
        tag1 = "rate modification view"  
        tag2 = "1"  
      >0.</property>  
 
    </optional_properties>

Run the multi-zone calculation. Once all three calculations are complete, make the plot as you did here.
