Resources

Introductory

• Wikipedia:Nuclear physics
• Wikipedia:Cross section
• RADIOCHEMISTRY and NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY, 3rd Edition, 2002 Gregory Choppin, Jan-Olov Liljenzin, Jan Rydberg

Databases of isotopes, nuclear reactions, decay modes etc.

• List of positron emitting isotopes
• Wikipedia (for orientation, not reference!)
  • Wikipedia:Periodic table
  • Wikipedia:Category:Isotopes
  • Wikipedia:List of isotopes
  • Wikipedia:Commonly-used gamma emitting isotopes
  • Wikipedia:Common beta emitters
• Particle Data Group (Wits mirror)
  THE reference for particles, interactions, materials etc; includes short but precise introductions to statistics, energy loss and a lot more.
  • Particle Data Group (US primary site)
• JLAB
  • http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/index.html
• NEA
  • JANIS in Java
    the standalone 2.2 version does not work with the Wits proxy; so you must use the "Launch Janis 2.2" button to run the online version instead; it will take a bit to download the first time, but successive runs will use the local cache.
