Abstract

A new semiempirical method that significantly simplifies atomic mass systematics and which provides a method for making mass predictions by linear interpolation is discussed in the context of the nuclear valence space. In certain regions complicated patterns of mass systematics in traditional plots versus Z, N, or isospin are consolidated and transformed into linear ones extending over long isotopic and isotonic sequences.
