2.1.2 University of Lund, Sweden

Lund Nuclear Data WWW Service at: http://nucleardata. nuclear. lu. se/nucleardata/

As well as the normal data services, the Lund Website includes the Isotope Explorer 2.0 program, which can interactively access and display nuclear data and search for literature references. Developed by:

S. Y. F. Chua, H. Nordbergb, R. B. Firestone3, and L. P. Ekstromb a Isotopes Project, LBNL, Berkeley bDepartment of Physics, University of Lund

2.1.3 Atomic Mass Data Centre, Paris — Orsay

Website of the Atomic Mass Data Centre (AMDC): http://csnwww. in2p3.fr/amdc

AMDC is devoted to nuclear and mass spectroscopic data. The Centre produces a newsletter that describes on-going experimental, theoretical and evaluation work on the atomic masses, and feedback on important conferences. Furthermore, the 1995 update of the atomic mass evaluation by G. Audi and A. H. Wapstra (1995), and the NUBASE data evaluation by G. Audi et al. (1997) can be displayed by the NUCLEUS PC program or by the ‘jvNubase JAVA applet’ on the Web. NUBASE contains the main nuclear and decay properties of the known nuclides in their ground and isomeric states as derived from ENSDF, the Atomic Mass Evaluation, and a critical compilation of recent literature.
