Recent and Recommended Nuclear Radii for All Isotopes

[mist]

Where can I find recent and recommended nuclear radius for all isotopes

 

[malawi_glenn]

depends on what kind of radius you are after.. Nucleis are not solid objects with defined boundaries.

 

[Astronuc]

Its possible one exists, but it may not be published, widely circulated or accessible via the internet.

There is this - http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/amdc/web/nubase_en.html

and http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/amdc/ or http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/masses/

there are some experimental and theoretical studies on nuclear radius. but around ten years old. I believe that like a liquid drop, nucleus should have a radius as well.

Then I would say that you lack basic understanding of nuclear physics. The Nucleus is a many body system of quantum particles. Just as the electrons in an atom for example, you have a probability distribution of the nucleons in the nuclei. The liqiud drop model is just a model, in the first order approximation easy speaking. You must treat the nucleus as a quantum entity.

You can define the nuclear radius on many ways, like the half charge-density radius, r.m.s radius, mean radius etc etc.

Then I would like you to specify what kind of defenition for the nuclear radius you are looking for, and for what purpose.

I don't think much has been done in this area during the last 10 years.

See this discussion - http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/nuclear/scatsurv.html

and most people seem satisfied with this estimate.
