SIMNRA

SIMNRA is a versatile and powerful Microsoft Windows program designed for the simulation of backscattering spectra for ion beam analysis with MeV ions. Developed by the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Plasmaphysik, the latest version of SIMNRA is 6.06, with previous versions including 6.0, and 5.0. This software is essential for those working in the field of ion beam analysis, specifically aimed at the simulation of non-Rutherford backscattering, nuclear reactions, and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA).

SIMNRA stands out in the Education category and falls under the subcategory of Science Tools. What makes SIMNRA unique is its ability to simulate over 300 different non-Rutherford and nuclear reactions cross-sections for various ions such as incident protons, deuterons, 3He, 4He, and Li-ions. Users can calculate any ion-target combination, including incident heavy ions, and it supports any geometry, including transmission geometry and arbitrary foils in front of the detector.

The program's installation file is named Simnra.exe, making it convenient to locate and install. The software runs on various versions of Windows, including Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11, ensuring wide compatibility. Despite being a shareware program, it is a substantial tool for scientists and researchers in the field of ion beam analysis.

For those interested, the SIMNRA software is available for download and can be tried out with the free trial version before making a purchase decision. more
