The types of medium energy nuclear data required for applications are discussed. Features of analysis tools, consisting of both detailed nuclear model codes and simple formulas based on nuclear systematics are presented. The activities of the Medium Energy Nuclear Data Working Group (MENDWG) are described including the recent benchmark comparison of nuclear model codes.

KEYWORDS: medium energy, nuclear, proton, neutron, heavy ion, spallation, intranuclear cascade, preequilibrium, nonelastic, total cross-section, neutron emission, systematics
