We present experimental methods for the measurement of the 10 B(n,α) 7 Li and the 6 Li(n,t) 4 He reactions
for neutron energies up to 3 MeV, and preliminary data for the 10 B(n,α0)/ 10 B(n,α1γ) branching ratios.
The experimental setups were installed at the GELINA and the Van de Graaff facilities of the Institute
for Reference Materials and Measurement of the European Commission. Our results show the need to
investigate the MeV region for these reactions, since the ENDEF/B-VII evaluation agrees with our data
up to 1.3 MeV and overestimates them above this limit.

NNDC Ensemble: A Software Platform for Effective Nuclear Data Projects Coordination
and Collaboration
R. Arcilla, D. Brown and M. Herman, Brookhaven National Laboratory.
In January 2010, the NNDC launched NNDC ensemble, the first-ever collaboration platform operated by
the NNDC on behalf of the U.S. nuclear data community. This platform is being powered by GForge
Advanced Server, an open-source collaboration software from the GForge Group, LLC. Since then, the
platform has played an essential role in the coordination and collaboration of 37 nuclear data projects which
include projects in support of the Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP), and the Data Assimilation
and Adjustment project (COMMARA). In 2012, NNDC Ensemble’s role was extended by becoming an
integral part of ADVANCE, a continuous integration and deployment platform based on open-source
software components, as its version control server. This poster presents how the NNDC and its collaborators
around the world used the various components of NNDC Ensemble to eliminate the barriers of time and
location and expedite the successful completion of development projects on nuclear data libraries and
processing codes. The interface between NNDC Ensemble and ADVANCE will also be briefly discussed.

Building 197D Brookhaven National Laboratory Upton, NY 11973-5000.
The National Nuclear Data Center located in Brookhaven National Laboratory offers a variety of online
services. These include nuclear data dissemination via products such as NuDat 2.0, Wallet Cards,
ENSDF/XUNDL file retrievals for obtaining detailed nuclear structure information, and ENDF/EXFOR
for cross section information, and more. In addition, a variety of analysis and utility codes useful for
nuclear data are available, among many other services. A few of the online services available are presented.
