The [[FAST-JX v7.0 photolysis mechanism]] is the newest version of the FAST-J software.  It was incorporated into [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]] by Sebastian Eastham (MIT) and the [[GEOS-Chem Support Team]], along with the [[UCX chemistry mechanism|UCX stratospheric-tropopsheric chemistry mechanism]].
  
As of GEOS-Chem v8-01-02, the rate constants in the "FAST-J" [http://www.as.harvard.edu/ctm/geos/doc/man/chapter_5.html#5.4.2 jv_atms.dat file] have been updated by Lin Zhang.

Here we link to pages describing the various versions of the FAST-J and FAST-JX photolysis mechanisms used in GEOS-Chem.

Photolysis mechanisms used in standard GEOS-Chem versions

The following photolysis mechanisms have been implemented in official releases of GEOS-Chem:

FAST-JX v7.0

The FAST-JX v7.0 photolysis mechanism is the newest version of the FAST-J software. It was incorporated into GEOS-Chem v10-01 by Sebastian Eastham (MIT) and the GEOS-Chem Support Team, along with the UCX stratospheric-tropopsheric chemistry mechanism.

FAST-J

The FAST-J photolysis mechanism was used in GEOS-Chem versions prior to GEOS-Chem v10-01. It has since been replaced by FAST-JX v7.0 photolysis mechanism.

Photolysis mechanisms used in research versions of GEOS-Chem

The following photolysis mechanisms have been used in non-standard research versions of GEOS-Chem:

FAST-JX v6.2

The FAST-JX v6.2 photolysis mechanism was implemented into several research versions of GEOS-Chem by Jingqiu Mao (Princeton). But this version of FAST-J was never incorporated into the standard GEOS-Chem model.
