LISE plus plus : Radioactive beam production with in-flight separators

The program LISE++ is designed to predict intensity and purity for future experiments using radioactive beams with in-flight separators, and for tuning experiments where its results can be quickly compared to on-line data. The name LISE++ denotes the new generation of the LISE program, in which any separator can be built through the use of different sections labeled blocks. Its User-friendly interface can be used to quickly construct many separator configurations from the available blocks. The LISE++ package already includes configuration files for most of the existing fragment and recoil separators such as the A 1900 and the S800 at the NSCL, LISE3 at GANIL, FRS and SuperFRS at GSI, BigRIPS and RIPS at RIKEN. Projectile fragmentation, fusion-evaporation, fusion-fission, Coulomb fission, abrasion-fission and two body reactions models are included in this program and can be used as the production reaction mechanism to simulate experiments at beam energies above the Coulomb barrier.
