Volume I/25B is the second one in a series of volumes on the properties of the excited states of all nuclei. The data presented are collected from all kinds of nuclear reactions, including measurements of reactions with neutrons and γ-rays not yet fully considered in previous compilations. The nuclei considered also comprise nuclei far from the stability line. The properties of excited nuclear states are of importance for scientific and practical applications. No systematic compilation of such data has been performed so far. The present compilation has been prepared by eminent experts in the field. One of the characteristics of Landolt-Börnstein is that data are evaluated before they are accepted for compilation. The idea is to present ‘best values’ which can be used with confidence by non-experts. The present Volume I/25B is providing new data (energy levels, branching ratios, cross-sections, spectroscopic factors, etc.) for nuclei with atomic numbers Zranging from 30 (Zn) to 47 (Ag) published in 2005-2010, thus supplementing previous compilations. Additionally, sections of the Introduction are devoted to nuclear resonance fluorescence and cluster models in nuclear astrophysics. In view of the large amount of data available some of the information is given online only at www.springermaterials.com.

Focuses on the properties of the states of nuclei. This title presents various kinds of nuclear reactions, including measurements of reactions with neutrons and I-rays not yet considered in previous compilations. It provides data (energy levels, branching ratios, etc) for nuclei with atomic numbers Z ranging from 48 (Cd) to 60 (Nd).

Focuses on the properties of the states of nuclei. This title presents various kinds of nuclear reactions, including measurements of reactions with neutrons and I-rays not yet considered in previous compilations. It provides data (energy levels, branching ratios, etc) for nuclei with atomic numbers Z ranging from 74 (W) to 103 (Lr).

Volume I/26A is presenting newly published neutron resonance parameters for nuclei ranging from Hydrogen (Z=1) to Californium (Z=98) supplementing data published in previous Landolt-Börnstein volumes. The quality and precision of the data have been improved considerably. The data were compiled by two eminent experts in the field who undertook great efforts to compare data from different laboratories to present "best values".Accurate neutron resonance parameters embody an important contribution to improve nuclear data for a variety of applications such as the design and safe operation of nuclear reactors, the development of advanced energy production technologies, transmutation of nuclear waste, and nuclear astrophysics.Additionally, one chapter is dedicated to the characterization of materials and objects by neutron resonance spectroscopy. Transmission and capture analysis using time-of-flight measurements are described in detail. Applications ranging from archeology, astrophysics, investigation of nuclear material, thermometry or resonance imaging for the study of molten nuclear fuel are presented. Another chapter presents empirical evidence for regularities in the systematics of level spacing.In view of the large amount of data the parameters for only the most important resonances are given in the printed version, whereas the data for all resonances are available online on www.springermaterials.com. Neutron resonance parameters of many nuclei were previously published by Landolt-Börnstein in Volumes I/16B, I/16C, and I/24.

The present volume I/25H is providing new data (excitation energies, spin-parities, half-lifes, branching ratios, cross-sections, spectroscopic factors, etc.) for nuclei with atomic numbers Z ranging from 54 (Xe) to 105 (Db) published in 2013-2014, thus updating previous compilations provided in the Landolt-Börnstein volumes I/25A-F.The data presented are collected from all kinds of nuclear reactions, including data for nuclei far from the stability line. Since the time of collection of data for the volumes I/25A-F many new data appeared from new measurements and evaluations.The properties of excited nuclear states are of importance for scientific and practical applications. No systematic compilation of such data has been performed so far. The present compilation has been prepared by two eminent experts in the field.

In view of the large amount of data availablesome of the information is given only on the online platform SpringerMaterials.
