NA 14 (AAME)
Advanced Atomic Mass Evaluation
2
Purpose of AAME

• Collect and evaluate experimental data on atomic
  masses (Q-values, excitation energies, lifetimes,
  etc.). Continuation of and improving the Atomic
  Mass Evaluation.
• Maintaining the existing (e.g. Nucleus) and
  developing new tools (mass calculators, filters,
  extrapolations, etc.).
• Creating and sustaining databases for
  experimental and theoretical data.
• Coordinating the information flow between
  different experimental and theoretical groups.
  (efficient coordination)
• Creating and/or maintaining the information
  exchange with other evaluation groups (NNDC,
  NuBASE, BrusLIB, etc.)
• Creation of a virtual journal on mass
  spectrometry for nuclear structure and
  astrophysics communities. (JRA10, Theory JRA)
• Organization of annual workshops and meetings
  (ECT)
