Explanation of the status codes.

Program-name Package-ID Status SPAR CCC-0228/01 Arrived

Machines used: Package-ID Orig.Computer Test Computer CCC-0228/01 IBM 360 series

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION - SPAR computes the stopping powers and ranges for muons, pions, protons and heavy ions in any nongaseous medium at energies from zero to several hundred GeV.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION - A different calculational procedure is used to compute the stopping powers in each of three (beta, z) regions, where beta is the speed of the particle relative to the speed of light and z is the nuclear charge of the particle. The procedures are described in the code document.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM - None noted.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME - On the IBM 360/91, about one second is required to compute stopping powers and ranges at about 100 energy points for one stopping medium. The packaged sample problem executed in 10 seconds.
