Nuclear structure and decay data for more than 3,500 isotopes and isomers—over 400 new additions.Also in this 1998 Update:
- How to use the Table of Isotopes CD-ROM
- Isotope Explorer user's manual
- How to use the Internet Table of Isotopes
- Principal gamma rays from isotopes with half-lives > 1.0h
- Alpha-particle energies.
This book's fully updated companion CD-ROM includes:
- Radioactive decay and nuclear structure information for more than 3,500 isotopes and isomers —over 400 new additions
- Additional appendices for:
- Experimental and theoretical atomic mass data
- Theoretical chart of the nuclides
- New edition of the Table of Superdeformed Nuclear Bands and Fission Isomers
- Synthesis of data for more than 150,000 references —the most complete source of information available.
Features of the CD-ROM:
- Isotope Explorer software searches evaluated nuclear structure data file (ENSDF) database. This software can select and display ENSDF data as:
- Decay scheme and nuclear structure drawings
- Tables with hypertext-linked comments and footnotes
- Plots of related information
- Nuclear charts color-coded by selected properties
- Reference keyword abstracts.
Additional information on CD-ROM includes:
- Thermal neutron cross sections
- Nuclear astrophysics reaction rates
- Spontaneous fission yields
- Table of radioactive isotopes databases.
