Atomic Masses & Nuclear Deformations
The masses of the nuclei are the fundamental measure of how protons and neutrons are bound together to form the matter in the universe, and they tell how much energy is released or used in nuclear reactions or released in nuclear decay. Many nuclear masses have been measured over the years, and models have been developed to attempt to calculate those that have not or cannot be measured. Here are some assets that you can use: Atomic Mass Data Center Atomic Mass Evaluation JAERI Nuclear Data Center Chart of the Nuclides 1996 KAERI Nuclear Data Evaluation Lab Table of the Nuclides National Nuclear Data Center Atomic Mass Evaluation Atomic Masses, Q-values, and Threshold Energies T-2 Nuclear Information Service Ground-state masses and deformations Q-value calculator WWW Table of Isotopes Atomic Mass Data Q-value calculator
Nuclear Astrophysics
Nuclear astrophysics involves study of the synthesis of elements and the evolution of cosmic sites where such syntheses occur. Systems as diverse as the early universe, the interstellar medium, red giant stars, and supernova explosions are currently the focus of intense studies utilizing sophisticated computer models -- models which require large quantities of nuclear data as input. Measurements in the nuclear laboratory form the empirical foundation for the current models of element synthesis. In addition to the more general information listed under Atomic Masses & Nuclear Deformations, Nuclear Reaction Data, and Nuclear Structure & Decay Data, some of the specialized information sources for this discipline are:
Charged Particle Reaction Data:	T-2 Nuclear Information Service Charged Particle Data See also Evaluated and Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data.

Nuclear Reaction Data
Bibliographies:	The most fundamental task of any data effort is the establishment of a well-organized and complete bibliographic database covering the subject. In the area of nuclear reaction data there are three such systems: the Computer Index to Neutron Data (CINDA), the Nuclear Science References File (NSR), and the Photonuclear Data Index. These may be accessed from the following sites: Centre for Photonuclear Experiments Data Photonuclear Data Index NEA Data Bank Nuclear Data Services CINDA National Nuclear Data Center CINDA NSR WWW Table of Isotopes The Isotope Explorer NSR Server CINDA is maintained by a world-wide network of Nuclear Reaction Centers who compile, exchange, and distribute the information. Primary scanning responsibility for NSR resides at the National Nuclear Data Center with contributions from other members of the IAEA-sponsored Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Network. The Photonuclear Data Index is a combination of the CDFE Photonuclear Data Index and the JAERI Bibliographic Index to Photonuclear Reaction Data .
Evaluated Nuclear Reaction Data:	The cross sections for nuclear reactions, along with their associated distributions for secondary particles in energy and angle, are normally evaluated by combining experimental data with nuclear models, converted to a standard world-wide format called ENDF (Evaluated Nuclear Data File), and made available in standard libraries through national or international nuclear data committees. Most of the information contained in these libraries are for neutron-induced reactions but there are also data for photon and light charged-particle projectiles (p, d, t, 3He, and ) and photon interaction, decay data, and fission product yields libraries. The typical energy limit for projectiles is 20 MeV; however, some libraries extend to about 200 MeV. The following download links, data browsers, and data viewers are provided to give you alternate convenient methods of access to these evaluated data: IAEA's Nuclear Data Centre Charged-particle cross section database for medical radioisotope production - Diagnostic radioiostopes and monitor reactions FENDL-2 - Fusion Evaluated Nuclear Data Library, Version 2.0 IRDF-90 Version 2 - The International Reactor Dosimetry File IAEA Photonuclear Data Library - Cross sections and spectra up to 140 MeV RIPL-2 - References Input Parameter Library for theoretical calculations of nuclear reactions JAERI Nuclear Data Center Chart of the Nuclides 1996 Cross-Section Graphs of JENDL-3.2 KAERI Nuclear Data Evaluation Lab ENDFPLOT: online graph plot for neutron cross sections Table of the Nuclides NEA Data Bank Nuclear Data Services EVA (password required) National Nuclear Data Center ENDF IRDF-90 Version 2 - The International Reactor Dosimetry File T-2 Nuclear Information Service Nuclear Data Viewer Files: Standard and interpreted data and PostScript plots for the following evaluated nuclear data libraries: ENDF/B-VI (USA), JENDL-3.2 (Japan), JEF-2.2 (Europe), BROND-2.2 (Russia), CENDL-2 (China) See also JEF-PC under Useful Programs,...
