  Nuclear Data/Codes
Nuclear Wallet Card (ground and metastable state properties) (more info) goto TOP
Presents selected properties of all known nuclides and their known isomeric states. Properties of ionized atoms are not included. The data given here are taken mostly from the adopted properties of the various nuclides as given in the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF). The data in ENSDF are based on experimental results and are published in Nuclear Data Sheets[2] for A>43 and in Nuclear Physics for A<44. For nuclides for which either there are no data in ENSDF or those data have since been superseded, the half-life and the decay modes are taken either from recent literature or from other sources[6,7,8]. The ground-state mass excesses are from the mass adjustments by G. Audi and A. H. Wapstra. The isotopic abundances are those of N. E. Holden.
  • Spin and parity assignments
  • Nuclear mass excesses
  • Half-life, isotopic abundances
  • Decay mode
