The Discovery of Isotopes

More about the book

Focusing on the systematic discovery of isotopes, this book catalogs around 3000 isotopes observed on Earth, organized by observation techniques and production methods. Each chapter features tables listing the first authors and details of the methods used for production and detection. A comprehensive table at the end sorts all isotopes by elements. The content is derived from previously published articles in "Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables," with a re-evaluation of prior assignments and the inclusion of over 100 newly discovered isotopes.
