NUCLEAR PROPERTIES FOR ASTROPHYSICAL AND RADIOACTIVE-ION-BEAM APPLICATIONS

Abstract

We tabulate the ground-state odd-proton and odd-neutron spins and parities, proton and neutron pairing gaps, total binding energy, one- and two-neutron separation energies, quantities related to β-delayed one- and two-neutron emission probabilities, β-decay energy release and half-life with respect to Gamow–Teller decay, one- and two-proton separation energies, and α-decay energy release and half-life for 8979 nuclei ranging from16O to339136 and extending from the proton drip line to the neutron drip line. Single-particle level diagrams and other quantities are also presented in graphical form. The starting point of our present work is a study of nuclear ground-state masses and deformations based on the finite-range droplet model and folded-Yukawa single-particle potential published in a previous issue of AtomicData andNuclearDataTables[59,185 (1995)]. The β-delayed neutron-emission probabilities and Gamow–Teller β-decay rates are obtained from a quasi-particle random-phase approximation with single-particle levels and wave functions at the calculated nuclear ground-state shapes as input quantities.
