The New Edition Of The Karlsruhe Nuclide Chart In Summer 2015

For almost 60 years, the Karlsruhe Nuclide Chart has provided scientists and students with structured, accurate information on the half-lives and decay modes of radionuclides, as well as energies of emitted radiation. This tradition continues with the release of the new 9th Edition in 2015. Since the 2012 edition nearly 150 nuclides have been discovered and about 1500 nuclides have been updated. In summary, the new edition contains decay and radiation data on approximately 3250 ground state nuclides and 740 isomers from 118 chemical elements. The accompanying booklet provides a detailed explanation of the nuclide box structure used in the Chart. An expanded section contains many additional nuclide decay schemes to aid the user to interpret the highly condensed information in the nuclide boxes.
