Ebook: Tables of Excitations of Proton- and Neutron-Rich Unstable Nuclei

Nuclear level schemes and resonance parameters are of great interest for nuclear spectroscopy, for astrophysical models, thermonuclear calculations and for other applications. Parameters for nuclear levels of stable nuclei have been published in the Volumes I/16B, I/18A, B, C, and in I/19A1, A2. In the Volumes I/19A, B further data obtained from transfer reactions are presented. Volume I/19C contains the data of unstable nuclei far from the stability region which have been deduced from reactions other than transfer reactions (e.g. beta decay, spallation reactions, or inverse reactions). The data in these volumes should be considered as the most complete data collection for nuclear levels. The contents of the various volumes can be characterized in the following way: Data for unbound states (resonances) I/16B, C Low lying levels, neutron-induced resonances (I/16A contains general information on neutron physics) I/19A Highly excited levels above the low lying states, unbound states from charged-particle reactions (Z = 2 to 18 in I/19A1, Z = 19 to 83 in I/19A2) Data for bound states (stable nuclei) I/18A, B, C Low lying levels (Z = 2 to 36 in I/18A, Z = 37 to 62 in I/18B, Z = 63 to 100 in I/18C) In I/18A the theoretical methods of treating nuclei are summarized, in particular those for deformed nuclei. I/19B Excited levels from charged-particle reactions (Z = 3 to 36 in I/19B1, Z = 37 to 62 in I/19B2, Z = 63 to 99 in I/19B3)

Volume I/19C is the last in the series of reports on properties of bound excited states of all nuclei. It contains a compilation of parameters of excited states of proton-rich and neutron-rich nuclei derived from reactions other than transfer reactions, e.g. beta-decay, spallation reactions, or inverse reactions.

High-quality information on excited bound states situated above the low-lying levels but below the states seen as resonances is essential for the understanding of general properties of nuclei and is important for many applications. No systematic compilation of such data has been performed so far. The present compilation was prepared by two eminent experts in the fields. One of the characteristics of Landolt-Börnstein is that data are evaluated before they are accepted for compilation. The idea is to present ‘best values’ which can be used with confidence by non-experts.

Subvolume I/19C contains the data (energy levels, branching ratios, etc.) for nuclei with Z ranging from 1 to 103. In view of the large amount of data available some of the information is given online only at www.springerlink.com.
