Isotopes Project, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

The Isotopes Project compiles, evaluates, and disseminates nuclear structure and radioactive decay data for basic and applied research. The Project is responsible for evaluating nuclear structure data for 41 mass chains (~500 nuclides), mainly in the region A=166-193, and provides a leadership role in the evaluation of neutron capture and radioactive decay data. These evaluations are incorporated into the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF) and most are published in the journal Nuclear Data Sheets (Academic Press). The group also evaluates neutron capture gamma-ray data with the Institute of Isotope and Surface Chemistry (Budapest).

The Isotopes Project/Lund collaboration has developed a Nuclear Science References Search and a computer version of a Table of Radioactive Isotopes for the WWW. The latter allows searches for decay gamma-ray and alpha-particle emissions. Isotope Explorer Version 2.2 (PC Windows 95/98/NT), a WWW-based software for searching, extracting, and displaying information from ENSDF and NSR, was released in January 1999, and the Internet Isotope Explorer Version 3.0 (JAVA/HTML) is now available.
