+\subsection{The \moc{MAC:} module}\label{sect:MACData}
+
+In DRAGON, the macroscopic cross sections associated with each mixture are
+stored in a \dds{macrolib} (as an independent data structure or as part of
+a \dds{microlib}) which may be generated using one of different ways:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item First, one can use directly the input stream already used for the remaining
+DRAGON data. In this case, a single macroscopic library is involved.
+\item The second method is via a GOXS format binary sequential
+file.\cite{MATXS} It should be noted that a number of GOXS files may be read
+successively by DRAGON and that it is possible to combine data from GOXS files
+with data taken from the input stream. One can also transfer the macroscopic cross sections to a
+GOXS format binary file if required. In this case, a single macroscopic library is involved.
+\item The third input method is through a file which already contains a \dds{macrolib}. In this
+case, two macroscopic and microscopic libraries are to be combined
+\item The fourth method consists to update an existing \dds{macrolib} using control-variable
+data recovered from a {\tt L\_OPTIMIZE} object.
+\end{itemize}
+
+The general format of the data for the \moc{MAC:} module is the following:
+\begin{DataStructure}{Structure \dstr{MAC:}} 
+$\{$ \dusa{MACLIB} \moc{:=} \moc{MAC:} $[$ \dusa{MACLIB} $]$ \moc{::} \dstr{descmacinp} \\
+\hspace*{0.2cm} $|$ \dusa{MICLIB} \moc{:=} \moc{MAC:} \dusa{MICLIB} \moc{::} \dstr{descmacinp} \\
+\hspace*{0.2cm} $|$ \dusa{MACLIB} \moc{:=} \moc{MAC:} $[$ \dusa{MACLIB} $]~[$ \dusa{OLDLIB} $]$ \moc{::} \dstr{descmacupd} \\
+\hspace*{0.2cm} $|$ \dusa{MACLIB} \moc{:=} \moc{MAC:} \dusa{MACLIB} \dusa{OPTIM} \\
+\hspace*{0.2cm} $\}$ \\
+\moc{;} 
+\end{DataStructure}
+
+\noindent
+The meaning of each of the terms above is:
+
+\noindent
+
+\begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmmmm}
+
+\item[\dusa{MACLIB}] {\tt character*12} name of a \dds{macrolib} that will
+contain the macroscopic cross sections. If \dusa{MACLIB} appears on both LHS and
+RHS, it is updated; otherwise, it is created. If \dusa{MACLIB} is created, all
+macroscopic cross sections are first initialized to zero.
+
+\item[\dusa{MICLIB}] {\tt character*12} name of a \dds{microlib}. Only the
+\dds{macrolib} data substructure of this \dds{microlib} is then updated. This is
+used mainly to associate fixed sources densities with various mixtures. If any
+other cross section is modified for a specific mixture, the
+microscopic and macroscopic cross sections are no longer compatible. One can
+return to a compatible library using the library update module (see
+\Sect{LIBData}).
+
+\item[\dusa{OLDLIB}] {\tt character*12} name of a \dds{macrolib} or a \dds{microlib}
+which will be used to update or create the \dusa{MACLIB} \dds{macrolib}.
+
+\item[\dusa{OPTIM}] {\tt character*12} name of a {\tt L\_OPTIMIZE} object. The
+\dds{macrolib} \dusa{MACLIB} is updated using control-variable data recovered from \dusa{OPTIM}.

+\item[\dstr{descmacinp}] macroscopic input data structure for this module (see
+\Sect{descmacinp}).

+
+\noindent with
+\begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmmmm}
+
+\item[\moc{EDIT}] keyword used to modify the print level \dusa{iprint}.
+
+\item[\dusa{iprint}] index used to control the printing in this module.
+It must be set to 0 if no printing on the output file is required. The
+macroscopic cross sections can written to the output file if the
+variable \dusa{iprint} is greater than or equal to 2. The transfer cross
+sections will be printed if this parameter is greater than or equal to 3. The
+normalization of the transfer cross sections will be checked if \dusa{iprint}
+is greater than or equal to 5.
+
+\item[\moc{NGRO}] keyword to specify the number of energy groups for which
+the macroscopic cross sections will be provided. This information is required
+only if \dusa{MACLIB} is created and the cross sections are taken directly from
+the input data stream.
+
+\item[\dusa{ngroup}] the number of energy groups used for the calculations in
+DRAGON. The default value is \dusa{ngroup}=1. 
+
+\item[\moc{NMIX}] keyword used to define the number of material mixtures.
+This information is required only if \dusa{MACLIB} is created and the cross
+sections are taken directly from the input data stream or from a GOXS file.

+characterized by a distinct set of macroscopic cross sections) the 
+\dds{macrolib} may contain. The default value is \dusa{nmixt}=1.
+
+\item[\moc{NIFI}] keyword used to specify the maximum number of fissile
+spectrum associated with each mixture. Each fission spectrum generally
+represents a fissile isotope. This information is required only if \dusa{MACLIB}
+is created and the cross sections are taken directly from the input data stream.
+
+\item[\dusa{nifiss}] the maximum number of fissile isotopes per mixture. The
+default value is \dusa{nifiss}=1.
+
+\item[\moc{DELP}] keyword used to specify the number of delayed neutron groups.

+\item[\dusa{ndel}] the number of delayed neutron groups. The
+default value is \dusa{ndel}=0.

+permitted in the scattering cross sections. This information is required only if
+\dusa{MACLIB} is created and the cross sections are taken directly from the
+input data stream.
+
+\item[\dusa{naniso}] number of Legendre orders for the representation of the
+scattering cross sections. The default value is \dusa{naniso}=1 corresponding to
+the use of isotropic scattering cross sections.
+
+\item[\moc{NADF}] keyword used to specify the number of averaged fluxes surrounding the geometry and used
+to compute {\sl assenbly discontinuity factors} (ADF).
+
+\item[\dusa{nadf}] number of averaged fluxes surrounding the geometry.
+
+\item[\moc{CTRA}] keyword to specify the type of transport correction that
+should be generated and stored on the \dds{macrolib}. The transport correction is to be
+substracted from the total and isotropic ($P_0$) within-group scattering cross sections. A leakage correction, equal 
+to the difference between current-- and flux--weighted total cross sections ($\Sigma_{1}-\Sigma_{0}$)
+is also applied in the \moc{APOL} and \moc{LEAK} cases. All the modules that
+will read this \dds{macrolib} will then have access to transport corrected
+cross sections. The default is no transport correction when the \dds{macrolib} is created from the
+input or GOXS files. 
+
+\item[\moc{NONE}] keyword to specify that no transport correction should be
+used in this calculation.
+
+\item[\moc{APOL}] keyword to specify that an APOLLO type transport correction
+based on the linearly anisotropic ($P_1$) scattering cross sections is to be set. This correction assumes that
+the micro-reversibility principle is valid for all energy groups. $P_1$ scattering
+information must exists in the {\sc macrolib}.
+
+\item[\moc{WIMS}] keyword to specify that a WIMS--type transport correction is used.
+The transport correction is recovered from a record named \moc{TRANC}. This
+record must exists in the {\sc macrolib}.

+
+\item[\dusa{albedp}] multigroup physical albedo array.

+updated.
+
+\item[\moc{ENER}] keyword to specify the energy group limits.
+
+\item[\dusa{energy}] energy (eV) array which define the limits of the groups
+(\dusa{ngroup}+1 elements).  Generally \dusa{energy}(1) is the highest energy.
+
+\item[\moc{VOLUME}] keyword to specify the mixture volumes.
+
+\item[\dusa{volume}] volume (cm$^3$) occupied by each mixture.

+the input stream (keyword \moc{INPUT}) or a GOXS format file. 
+
+\item[\dusa{imat}] array of mixture identifiers to be read from a GOXS file.
+The maximum number of identifiers permitted is  \dusa{nmixt} and the maximum
+value that \dusa{imat} may take is \dusa{nmixt}. When \dusa{imat} is 0, the
+corresponding mixture on the GOXS file is not included in the \dds{macrolib}. In the
+cases where \dusa{imat} is absent all the mixtures on the GOXS file are
+available in a DRAGON execution. They are numbered consecutively starting at 1
+or from the last number reached during a previous execution of the \moc{MAC:}
+module.
+
+\item[\dusa{GOXSRN}] {\tt character*7} name of the GOXS file to be read.
+
+\item[\moc{DELE}] keyword to specify that the GOXS file is deleted after being read
+
+\item[\moc{INPUT}] keyword to specify that mixture cross sections will be
+read on the input stream.
+
+\item[\dstr{descxs}] structure describing the format used for reading the
+mixture cross sections from the input stream (see
+\Sect{descxs}).
+
+\item[\moc{STEP}] keyword used to create a perturbation directory.
+
+\item[\dusa{istep}] the index of the perturbation directory.
+
+\item[\moc{NORM}] keyword to specify that the macroscopic scattering cross
+sections and the fission spectrum have to be normalized. This option is
+available even if the mixture cross sections were not read by the \moc{MAC:}
+module.
