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. |
