Welcome to Trac for XNET

Welcome to the XNet home page. XNet is a thermonuclear reaction network for astrophysical applications, using the fully Implicit Backward Euler scheme. It is written in portable FORTRAN 90 and makes use of a variety of matrix solving packages to obtain excellent speed (as much as 50% of peak) on as many platforms as possible.

If you want to learn the basics of how thermonuclear reaction networks function, we recommend the following sources.

Tools and Toys for Nuclear Astrophysics: Nuclear Reaction Network Techniques by Frank Timmes, ​http://cococubed.asu.edu/talk_pages/jina.shtml

Thermonuclear Kinetics in Astrophysics by Raph Hix and Brad Meyer ​http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2004.10.009

Supernovae and Nucleosynthesis: An Investigation of the History of Matter, from the Big Bang to the Present by Dave Arnett ​http://press.princeton.edu/titles/5859.html

Someday, we'll make a list of publications using XNet, but that will wait...
