r-Java Description

r-Java is built to be an r-process code that can be used by anyone and is able to perform r-process nucleosynthesis calculations. Equipped with a simple graphical user interface, r-Java is capable of carrying out nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) as well as static and dynamic r-process calculations for a wide range of input parameters. In this introductory paper, we present the motivation and details behind r-Java, and results from our static and dynamic simulations. Static simulations are explored for a range of neutron irradiation and temperatures. Dynamic simulations are studied with a parameterized expansion formula. The code generates the resulting abundance pattern based on a general entropy expression that can be applied to degenerate as well as non-degenerate matter. you will be able to track the rapid density and temperature evolution of the ejecta during the initial stages of ejecta expansion. The calculations are currently limited to the waiting-point approximation.
