PAPR : Predictive Automated Phenomenological Rates PAPR is a collection of freely available open source codes and scripts that facilitate the prediction and analysis of the kinetics and dynamics of gas phase reactions. Taken together these programs allow for the implementation of state of the art ab initio transition state theory based master equation calculations. The central code is the MESS code, which implements the one-dimensional master equation for an arbitrary number of wells and products. The VaReCoF code implements direct variable reaction coordinate transition state theory through couplings with the MOLPRO or GAUSSIAN quantum chemistry packages, which must be obtained separately from the appropriate vendors. The output of the VaReCoF code is readily transformed to a data file providing the transition state flux as input for MESS. The DiNT code is a direct molecular dynamics program for studying adiabatic and nonadiabatic chemistry. Again, the output of DiNT is readily transformed to input for MESS. The NST code may be used to include spin-forbidden processes in MESS. The OneDMin code provides procedures for evaluating the Lennard-Jones collision parameters. Various other codes and scripts are being prepared for release. A selection of results obtained via PAPR codes have been collected in CHEMKIN-formatted databases.
