Abstract
VuENSDF is a 32-bit Windows program for retrieving,
displaying, listing, manipulating and searching nuclear
structure and decay data. Information from the
Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data file
(ENSDF) and the Table of Isotopes
databases (nuclear structure data, radioactive decay data
and superdeformed bands data) is
available for viewing with VuENSDF.
Data are traceable to the original publications through
Keynumbers contained in ENSDF. These Keynumbers are decoded
into complete references using the Nuclear Science References
(NSR) file. The NSR file can also be searched on authors.
VuENSDF is very flexible with regard to data sources:
- it can access the Table of Isotopes databases directly
via the Internet from the Berkeley or Lund servers
- it can use locally stored data (e.g. from the Table of Isotopes
CD-ROM)
- it can operate as a helper application for WWW browsers, allowing
data in the ENSDF format available on the WWW to be accessed remotely
