# Atomic Mass Data

Atomic mass data is extracted from neutron decay sublibrary of ENDFB, JEFF and 
JENDL nuclear data libraries.

## Atomic mass

The atomic mass for each nuclide ($m$) is computed from atomic weight ratio ($awr$)
and neutron mass ($m_n$) with following equation :

$$m = m_n \times awr$$

with

$$m_n = 1.008\ 664\ 915\ 95 \ u $$

## Format

Each atomic mass data file is a list of record with whitespace-separated fields 
and following format :

```text
..3    : atomic number (Z)
4..7   : mass number (A)
8..9   : isomeric state number (I)
10..17 : nuclide's name (XxAAAmI)
18..31 : nuclide's element name
32..34 : nuclide's element symbol
35..   : nuclide's atomic mass [u]
```
