What could other programs do?
What could be implemented?


Diffusion refers to diffusion of atoms inside the bulk of a solid matrix.

	Production of nuclei upon irradiation of a target?
NO. RIBO does not compute nuclear reactions, generation or showers. Refer to FLUKA, MCNPX, GEANT4 or MARS.

Heat deposition of the primary proton beam in the ISOL target?

Starting profile distribution in a target after irradiation/implantation?

Diffusion profile as a function of time in 1-D geometries.

YES

time-varying

inhomogeneous

Diffusion fraction a function of time in 2 and 3-D geometries. YES. RIBO-diffuse contains this feature. However, fancy options are presently only available in 1-D (3D soon available).

Diffusion function for diffusion coefficients dependent on concentration. YES. Presently only in 1-D.

Diffusion inverse function computation. YES. Implemented for standard conditions.

Diffusion function under pulsed generation. YES. Available at present only in 1-D

Diffusion function time sampling. YES. Integrated in RIBO Monte Carlo Code.

Diffusion coupled to desorption. YES. This function has just been implemented for 1-D diffusion.

Diffusion to effusion. YES.

Calculation of vacuum conductances (or impedances). YES. Through Clausing coefficient (k) and even with absorbing walls.

Calculation of gas throughput.
YES, for molecular flow, indirectly through other features.

Calculation of solid angle-viewing factors.
YES. RIBO can do that by setting absorption coefficient=1. Reflection models may also apply.

Transport of light in optic fibers, etc.
NOT specifically, but all the tools are there.

Computation of surface coverage, surface dose deposition...
YES. It can be done through absorption and adsorption coefficients.

Effusion in vacuum in standard conditions. YES. RIBO uses the cosine law and a full and unlimited 3-D geometry.

Effusion with diffractive effects. YES. RIBO implements a semi-classical surface phonon theory. TO BE TESTED.

Effusion in mirror-like systems. YES. RIBO allows perfect reflections.

Effusion in molecular flow regime. YES. Rare interactions between atoms are allowed.

Effusion under gas flow.
NO. A collaboration may be established soon for that sake. Minor modifications from previous feature.

Effusion in powder and felt. YES. RIBO contains a special module. It needs fitting to the material specific properties.

Adsorption coupled to effusion. YES.

Absorption coupled to effusion. YES.

Electron single ionization. YES. RIBO-plION allows for a wide selection of isotopes ionization in FEBIAD ion sources.

Surface single ionization. YES. RIBO-surfION includes this process for a large database of isotopes.

Laser ionization. NO. Up to now only conceptually implemented.

Ion transport in slow varying Electro-Magnetic fields. YES.

Calculation of Electro-Magnetic fields for a given geometry. NO. These should be an input to RIBO. You can programs like MAFIA or Poisson. Check here.

Calculations of emittance maps.
YES. RIBO can compute those but conventions may have to be applied. Be aware of other software.

BEAM optics transport. NO. Other programs are meant for that, like TRANSPORT, SIXTRACK...

Visualization of 3D geometry. YES. RIBOray exports RIBO geometry to POVRAY format and performs 3D with the assistance of it.

Visualization of particle tracks. YES. RIBO Isotope Path Tracker in conjunction with PAW provides a 3-D plot of a single trajectory.

Geometry construction tools.
YES. RIBO convgeom, translate and rotate provide assistance in this respect.

DATA Analysis tools.
In progress...
