The AME2016 atomic mass evaluation (II). Tables, graphs and references

TLDR

The paper presents the second part of the AME2016 atomic mass evaluation. Using least‑squares adjustments of all accepted experimental data, the authors generate updated tables of recommended atomic masses and uncertainties, influence metrics, reaction and decay energies, and accompanying graphs, replacing the AME2012 results, and compile a complete reference list for the input data.

Abstract

This paper is the second part of the new evaluation of atomic masses, AME2016. Using least-squares adjustments to all evaluated and accepted experimental data, described in Part I, we derive tables with numerical values and graphs to replace those given in AME2012. The first table lists the recommended atomic mass values and their uncertainties. It is followed by a table of the influences of data on primary nuclides, a table of various reaction and decay energies, and finally, a series of graphs of separation and decay energies. The last section of this paper lists all references of the input data used in the AME2016 and the NUBASE2016 evaluations (first paper in this issue).
