Nuclear structure and decay data for more than 3,500 isotopes and isomers—over 400 new additions. Also in this 1998 Update: How to use the Table of Isotopes CD-ROM Isotope Explorer user's manual How to use the Internet Table of Isotopes Principal gamma rays from isotopes with half-lives > 1.0h Alpha-particle energies. This book's fully updated companion CD-ROM includes: Radioactive decay and nuclear structure information for more than 3,500 isotopes and isomers —over 400 new additions Additional appendices for: Experimental and theoretical atomic mass data Theoretical chart of the nuclides New edition of the Table of Superdeformed Nuclear Bands and Fission Isomers Synthesis of data for more than 150,000 references —the most complete source of information available. Features of the CD-ROM: Isotope Explorer software searches evaluated nuclear structure data file (ENSDF) database.
