References for nuclear masses, mass deficits, decay rates and modes


Where can I find the base data for computing the energy release of nuclear decays and the spectra of the decay products?




My immediate need is to find the energy release by the beta decay of Thorium to Protactinum upon receiving a neutron:


$$\mathrm{Th}02 + n \to \mathrm{Th}03 \to \mathrm{Pa} 13 + e^- + \bar{\nu}$$


The estimated amount of energy released from Beta decay is roughly 1eV. Minus the neutrino loss, how much kinetic energy is released as heat?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
