Applied Nuclear Data, Volume 2 - Energy and Isotope Tables

The book serves as a supplementary compendium to “Applied Nuclear Data, Volume 1 – Radionuclide Handbook.” It presents a separate, comprehensive list of energies and isotopes covering as many radioisotopes as possible, based on the Radionuclide Handbook, which includes approximately 290 radioisotopes. The compilation includes all decay energies as well as energies modified through interactions with the detec-tor. Additionally, it provides information on half-lives, intensities (including those relevant to decay sys-tems in parent/daughter equilibrium), and gamma lines affected by escape processes such as Single Es-cape, Double Escape, and X-ray Escape (SE/DE/XE). The dataset also accounts for energies influenced by coincidence decays or random temporal events, such as Coincidence Summing and Random Summing (CS/RS). Furthermore, it includes details on parent and daughter nuclides, primary production pathways, and many other useful parameters to support practical applications and research.
