TL;DR: In this paper, a 2-volume work contains nuclear structure and decay data for over 3,100 isotopes and isomers and extensive appendices have been entirely rewritten, expediting retrieval and use of nuclear information for many areas of research.
Abstract: This 2-volume work contains nuclear structure and decay data for over 3,100 isotopes and isomers. Features: References data from thousands of pages of figures and tables. Encompasses about twice as much data as the previous edition. The extensive appendices have been entirely rewritten, expediting retrieval and use of nuclear information for many areas of research, and for users with varying levels of expertise.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the nuclear and atomic properties of radioactive isotopes and present detailed radiation data for about 2000 of the known nuclides.
Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the nuclear and atomic properties of radioactive isotopes. Detailed radiation data for about 2000 of the 2755 known nuclides are presented in this up-to-date and concise book. The main section is organized by mass number (A), with entries for a given A derived from and referenced to the most recent corresponding evaluation in Nuclear Data Sheets or Nuclear Physics.

TL;DR: The Plesovice zircon as discussed by the authors has a concordant U-Pb age with a weighted mean Pb-206/U-238 date of 337.13 +/- 0.37 Ma (ID-TIMS, 95% confidence limits, including tracer calibration uncertainty).

TL;DR: The ENDF/B-VII.1 library as mentioned in this paper is the most widely used data set for nuclear data analysis and has been updated several times over the last five years. But the most recent version of the ENDF-B-VI.0 library is based on the JENDL-4.0 standard.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the application of atomic physics to address important challenges in physics and to look for variations in the fundamental constants, search for interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics and test the principles of general relativity.
Abstract: Advances in atomic physics, such as cooling and trapping of atoms and molecules and developments in frequency metrology, have added orders of magnitude to the precision of atom-based clocks and sensors. Applications extend beyond atomic physics and this article reviews using these new techniques to address important challenges in physics and to look for variations in the fundamental constants, search for interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics, and test the principles of general relativity.

TL;DR: The GUPIXWIN program as discussed by the authors has been extended with a Monte Carlo code to provide detector efficiency values that are more accurate than those of the previous approximate analytical formula, and a new batch mode facility is designed to handle two-detector PIXE, with one detector measuring major elements and the other simultaneously measuring trace elements.
Abstract: Following the introduction of GUPIXWIN in 2005, a number of upgrades have been made in the interests of extending the applicability of the program. Extension of the proton upper energy limit to 5 MeV facilitates the simultaneous use of PIXE with other ion beam analysis techniques. Also, the increased penetration depth enables the complete PIXE analysis of paintings. A second database change is effected in which recently recommended values of L-subshell fluorescence and Coster–Kronig yields are adopted. A Monte Carlo code has been incorporated in the GUPIX package to provide detector efficiency values that are more accurate than those of the previous approximate analytical formula. Silicon escape peak modeling is extended to the back face of silicon drift detectors. An improved description of the attenuation in dura-coated beryllium detector windows is devised. Film thickness determination is enhanced. A new batch mode facility is designed to handle two-detector PIXE, with one detector measuring major elements and the other simultaneously measuring trace elements.
