Internal conversion coefficients for all atomic shells
Abstract
Presented here are tables of gamma-ray internal conversion coefficients for all atoms with 30 ≤ Z ≤ 104. Values are given for the multipolarities E1,…,E4 and M1,…,M4, for each occupied atomic shell and for the whole atom. Gamma energies between 2 keV and 5 MeV above threshold for the K-shell and between 2 keV and 1.5 MeV for all other shells are covered.
These tables supersede those of Hager and Seltzer, of Dragoun, Pauli, and Schmutzler, and of Dragoun, Plajner, and Schmutzler. While the values differ very little from those of Hager-Seltzer in the K, L, and M shells except for the L1 and M1 shells and except near threshold, they vary markedly from those of all the other authors in the higher shells. It seemed worthwhile therefore to present a complete new set calculated in a consistent way for all shells. A finer grid, more convenient for interpolation, has been employed and known errors have been eliminated. Calculations were based on relativistic Hartree-Fock-Slater wavefunctions with the coefficient C = 1 for the exchange term and on the assumption that the potential is the same for all electrons, including the emitted one. Experimental binding energies were used. Finite nuclear size is taken into account, but the penetration terms are not tabulated. A table compares this model with those adopted by other authors. Checks made with other programs and other models show that discrepancies are due to the models and not to the calculations.
The corrections neglected are those of order higher than the second in perturbation theory; thus the values presented can be considered as “basic” ones to which corrections of higher order can be added as it becomes clear how to calculate them best. ,

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A = 222 Isobars
2023, Nuclear Data SheetsEvaluated data are presented for 11 known nuclides (Bi, Po, At, Rn, Fr, Ra, Ac, Th, Pa, U, and Np), and relevant Jπ and T1/2 data for nuclei decaying by α-decay to nuclei. For 222Bi, only the isotopic identification is established with no measurement of its half-life. For 222Po, 222At, 222Fr, 222U, and 222Np, data are available only for the ground states, with static magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, and charge radius measurements for the 222Fr ground state. For 222Ac and 222Pa, two low-lying levels are known from 226Pa α decay, and 226Np decay, respectively, but with no information about Jπ assignments and γ decays of these levels. For 222Pa, a long-lived isomeric state is known, decaying dominantly by α decay. 222Rn, 222Ra, and 222Th have been investigated in detail, the low-spin states by α decay and the high-spin studies of ground-state and octupole bands by in-beam γ-ray studies for all the three nuclei, as well as by Coulomb excitation for 222Rn and 222Ra. Low-spin levels in 222Ra have been investigated also through the decay of 222Fr. Half-lives of the excited states are known for 7 levels in 222Rn, 12 levels in 222Ra, and 3 levels in 222Th. Octupole deformations, with the presence of alternating-parity bands up to (16+) and () in 222Rn, (20+) and () in 222Ra, and (26+) and () in 222Th, and with interband E1 transitions, have been established in these three nuclei. The present evaluation supersedes the previous ENSDF evaluations: (2011Si24), (1996El01), (1987El06) and (1977To14).
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=242
2022, Nuclear Data SheetsDetailed level schemes, decay schemes, band structure, and the experimental data on which they are based are presented for all nuclei with mass number A=242. The experimental data are evaluated and adopted values are given for level and radiation properties. For references on theory refer to the NSR file at the web site given below under Cutoff Date:. This evaluation replaces the A=242 publication by Y. A. Akovali in Nuclear Data Sheets 96, 177 (2002) (2002Ak06).
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=236
2022, Nuclear Data SheetsExperimental nuclear structure and decay data are evaluated for all of 10 known nuclides of mass 236 (Ac, Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Bk, Cf). For each nuclide, detailed evaluated spectroscopic information is presented in each reaction and decay, and the best values combining all available data are recommended for level properties, γ and β radiations, and other spectroscopic properties in the Adopted Levels and Gammas. The present evaluation supersedes the earlier one on A=236 by E. Browne, J. K. Tuli (2006Br20), published in Nuclear Data Sheets 107, 2641 (2006).
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=160
2021, Nuclear Data SheetsThe experimental results published before May 2021 from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides of Z=59 to Z=75, 160Pr, 160Nd, 160Pm, 160Sm, 160Eu, 160Gd, 160Tb, 160Dy, 160Ho, 160Er, 160Tm, 160Yb, 160Lu, 160Hf, 160Ta, 160W, 160Re in the A=160 mass chain have been reviewed. These data are summarized and presented, together with adopted level schemes and properties. This work is intended to supersede the previous evaluation of the A=160 nuclides by C.W.Reich (2005Re18), which was published in Nuclear Data Sheets 105, 557 (2005).
