35 Parametric uncertainties of branching ratios Multi-pathway reactions k i,j = k i b i,j ; b i,j = 1 Reaction rates and branching ratios are mostly measured by different experiments/techniques larger uncertainties for branching ratios (more difficult to measure than rates). In such cases, it is better to keep an explicit separation of uncertainty sources more pertinent sensitivity analysis (key parameters) ; easier to manage the sum rule wrt. uncertainties ; T-dependence of k i different from b i,j safer update of databases when new branching ratios or rate available. j

46 Shopping for rate uncertainty What have existing databases to offer to MCUP-aware modelers? udfa 06 k i (T ) = α i (T /300) β i exp ( γ i /T ) The accuracy is described by a letter - A, B, C, D, E - where the errors are < 25%, < 50%, within a factor of 2, within an order of magnitude, and highly uncertain, respectively. No T-dependence of uncertainty No pdf proposed

47 Shopping for rate uncertainty What have existing databases to offer to MCUP-aware modelers? osu k i (T ) = α i (T /300) β i exp ( γ i /T ) F i = 1.25,1.5, 2.0 or 10.0 No T-dependence of uncertainty No pdf proposed

48 Shopping for rate uncertainty What have existing databases to offer to MCUP-aware modelers? Anicich (ion-molecule, JPL 2003) Global rate k i ± f i (f i in percent) Branching ratios {b ij } j=1,n No uncertainty on branching ratios No T-dependence on properties and uncertainties No pdf proposed

49 Shopping for rate uncertainty What have existing databases to offer to MCUP-aware modelers? IUPAC - NASA/JPL k i (T ) = k 0 i exp ( E i /T ) F i (T ) = F 0 i exp `g i 1 T 1 T 0 ; T 0 = 298 K F i is an expanded uncertainty, CI 95% The assignment of the uncertainties is a subjective assessment of the evaluators. They are not determined by a rigorous statistical analysis of the database. No pdf proposed

50 Shopping for rate uncertainty What have existing databases to offer to MCUP-aware modelers? Hébrard et al. (JPPC, 2006 ; PSS, 2007) k i (T ) = α i (T /300) β i exp ( γ i /T ) F i (T ) = F i (300 K) exp `g i 1 1 T 300 F i is a standard uncertainty, CI 67% Both uncertainty factors, F i (300 K) and g i, do not necessarily result from a rigorous statistical analysis of the available data. No pdf proposed, but log k i = log k i (T ) + ɛ log F i (T ); ɛ Norm(0, 1), in Hébrard et al. (PSS, 2007)
