ATOMIC   MASSES    AND   DEFORMATIONS


This directory contains atomic masses, binding energies and ground-state deformations, for use in nuclear reaction model calculations.  We recommend that the Möller et al.  file moller.dat with data for nearly 9000 nuclides (A>16) be used for these quantities.  The whole region of masses is covered by audi_95.dat, which brings recommended masses for nearly 3000 nuclides based on experimental values.   Deformations of excited states for use in DWBA and CC calculations can be found in jaeri_deform.dat.

The directory is comprised of the subdirectories RECOMMENDED and OTHER_FILES:
(NOTE: Use GZIP, WinZip or MacGzip to decompress files specified as "compressed".)

RECOMMENDED

Filename  Contents
audi_95.readme   Readme for audi_95.dat

audi_95.dat (compressed)

Recommended masses based on experimental values, original file name mass_rmd.mas95, source Audi & Wapstra 1995.

moller.readme Readme for moller.dat

moller.dat (compressed)

Recommended masses based on calculated values, extensive database, source P. Moller et al 1995 (LANL, Los Alamos, USA)

Warning to users:  When calculating Q-values, one should use atomic masses from the same source to avoid systematics errors. This means that one should use consistently either experimental values, or calculated values.
