Atomic Mass Evaluation - AME 2020

The AME 2020 atomic mass evaluation has been published in Chinese Phys. C 45, 030002 (2021) and Chinese Phys. C 45, 030003 (2021).

There are five main ASCII files associated with AME 2020:

1. mass_1.mas20 - atomic masses [mass excess, binding energy/A, beta-decay energy, atomic mass]
2. massround.mas20 - atomic masses ​“rounded” version [mass excess, binding energy/A, beta-decay energy, atomic mass]
3. rct1.mas20 - reaction energies, table 1 [S(2n), S(2p), Q(a), Q(2B-), Q(ep), Q(B-n)]
4. rct2_1.mas20 - reaction energies, table 2 [S(1n), S(1p), Q(4B-), Q(d,a), Q(p,a), Q(n,a)]
5. covariance.mas20 - variances and covariances of primary nuclides [note this file is a .zip file]

NUBASE Evaluation - NUBASE2020

The NUBASE2020 evaluation has been published in Chinese Phys. C 45, 030001 (2021).

NUBASE contains experimentally 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 here:

• nubase_4.mas20 - NUBASE table

Any work that will use this file should make reference to the original paper listed above, and not to the electronic file.

The Atomic Mass Evaluation and the NUBASE Evaluation is carried out every 4-5 years. The previous versions of the Evaluations are given below.
