Undergrad Looking for Experimental Data on Isotopes (Nuclear Physics and Engineering)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the search for comprehensive experimental data on isotopes relevant to nuclear physics and engineering. Key resources mentioned include the NIST isotopes database, Wikipedia, WebElements, PeriodicTable.com, and specialized sites like the NNDC and KAERI tables. Users are encouraged to utilize tools such as JANIS for accessing various databases. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding a single source that compiles all necessary data, emphasizing the need for multiple resources to gather detailed information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nuclear physics concepts, particularly isotopes and binding energy.
  • Familiarity with online databases such as NIST and NNDC for isotope data.
  • Knowledge of Monte Carlo simulations in nuclear engineering.
  • Experience with data analysis tools like JANIS for accessing nuclear data.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the NIST isotopes database for detailed mass and binding energy data.
  • Research Monte Carlo simulation techniques applicable to nuclear engineering.
  • Investigate the JANIS software for accessing multiple nuclear data sources.
  • Visit the NNDC and KAERI tables for comprehensive isotope information.
USEFUL FOR

Nuclear engineers, physicists, and students seeking in-depth resources on isotopes and experimental data for academic or research purposes.

TL;DR
I want to find some resources for in-depth experimental data about isotopes.
So, a website in which I just enter an element or an Isotope and it just lists all the relevant experimental data like mass, mass-defect binding energy etc.
Also resources for the absorption data, resources to explore Monte-Carlo simulations, and other calculation tools would be awesome. Just a thorough resource of nuclear engineering course in undergrad. If someone can also detail how would I go about finding these websites and resources without bothering everyone, it will be a big help because googling hasn't helped for an in-depth resource.
Thanks :)

All the data? All the data? All the data? You're not going to find that, and I don't think that's really what you want. Why don't you tell us what you have found in your searches and why this doesn't work for you.
 
I found the Kaeri table and JANIS (a software with many databases for various sorts of data)
Thanks, everyone.
