Atomic Mass Evaluation - AME2020

The evaluation has been published in Chinese Phys. C 45 030002 (2021), and Chinese Phys. C 45 030003 (2021).

The four main ASCII files of AME2020 are
  1. mass_1.mas20 - atomic masses
  2. massround.mas20 - atomic masses "rounded" version
  3. rct1.mas20 - reaction energies, table 1
  4. rct2_1.mas20 - reaction energies, table 2

Additionally, the covariance.mas20 zip file is downloadable.

Any work that will use these files should make reference to these papers and not to the electronic files.



Nubase Evaluation - Nubase2020

The evaluation has been published in Chinese Physics C 45 (2021) 030001.

NUBASE contains experimentaly known nuclear properties, and some that have been estimated from extrapolation: mass, isomeric excitation energy, half-life, spin, parity, decay modes and intensities.

An ASCII file of the NUBASE table, for use with computer programs, can be downloaded.

Nubase2020 Web version

Any work that will use the file should make reference to this paper and not to the electronic files.

The AMDC provides the NUCLEUS program to display NUBASE data

Duflo-Zuker mass formula software package

Calculates the binding energies using the mass formulas of Duflo & Zuker (31 parameter and 10 parameter versions) as described in J. Duflo and A.P. Zuker , Phys. Rev. C 52 (1995) R23.
