description

A framework for uncertainty-quantification of nuclear reaction observables using parametric reaction models. Consider a local coordinate-space potential $V(r;\boldsymbol{\theta})$ that is a function of some parameters $\boldsymbol{\theta}$. Just write it like so:

def V(r,*theta):
  a,b,c,... = theta
  # calculate and return potential at radial coordinate r as a function of parameters a,b,c,...

Then, you can pass it along with many samples of $\boldsymbol{\theta}$ into jitR to calculate many samples of the corresponding cross sections for your system and reaction of interest!

Under the hood, jitR solves the radial Bloch-Shrödinger equation in the continuum using the calculable $\mathcal{R}$-Matrix method on a Lagrange-Legendre mesh. It is fast because it gives users the tools to precompute everything that they can for a system and reaction of interest, so given a single parameter sample, the minimal amount of compute is required to spit a cross section back out. For this reason, jitR is really suited to calculating an ensemble of observables for many parameter samples. Additionally, jitR relies on vectorized operations from numpy, as well as just-in-time (JIT) compilation from numba for the small subset of performance-critical code.

The theory generally follows:

with the primary difference being that this code uses the energy-scaled version of the Bloch-Shrödinger equation, with dimensionless domain, $s = k_0 r$, where $r$ is the radial coordinate and $k_0$ is the entrance channel wavenumber.
