RAM: case dependent
Word size: 64 bits
Keywords: Interactive, Java, Nearside-farside decomposition, Heavy-ion, Elastic scattering, Angular distribution.
PACS: 25.70.-z, 25.70.Bc.
Classification: 17.9.

External routines: A Java runtime interpreter, or the Java Development Kit, version 1.5.0

Nature of problem:
Interactive nearside-farside decomposition of heavy-ion elastic scattering amplitude.

Solution method:
The user must supply a external data file or PPSM parameters which calculates theoretical values of the quantities to be decomposed.

Additional comments:
To compile the program or run it from a DOS command line, Java 3D API must be installed. This is freely available from https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html.

Running time:
Problem dependent. In a test run, it is about 35 seconds on a 2.40 GHz Intel P4-processor machine
