This handbook on basic nuclear properties and particle decay modes is the result of new theoretical and experimental data on nuclear properties; its aim is to combine the newest developments from advanced research laboratories with background information on such topics as masses, deformations, and energy conversion factors. These findings, along with the most recently updated tables, make this a valuable reference for researchers, practitioners, and students of nuclear and particle physics who are interested in basic nuclear properties.
