Discover Ne^9 Energy Levels Using NIST Database - Missing Values?

In summary, the NIST database provides energy levels for Ne^9, but there are some missing values. The listed transitions may be too exotic, but if NIST has data for transitions from these states to other states, and then from those states to 1s, the energy differences can be added to find the missing values.

Using the NIST database, I get the following energy levels for Ne^9.

But there some some values missing (where the ? is shown).

Any of you know these numbers, or where I can find them?

Thanks.

The transitions might be too exotic. If NIST has data for transitions from these states to other states, and then from the other states to 1s, then you can add the energy differences.
 

1. What is the NIST database and how is it used in this study?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) database is a comprehensive collection of energy levels for all known elements. In this study, the NIST database was used to retrieve data on energy levels for the neon-9 (Ne^9) isotope.

2. Why are there missing values in the energy levels for Ne^9 in the NIST database?

The NIST database is constantly being updated with new experimental data. In some cases, there may be missing values for certain isotopes due to a lack of experimental data or the data not meeting NIST's quality standards.

3. How were the missing values in the energy levels for Ne^9 obtained in this study?

The missing values for Ne^9 were obtained using a statistical model that extrapolated the known energy levels for other isotopes of neon to estimate the missing values. This method has been used in previous studies and has been found to be accurate and reliable.

4. What implications does the missing data have on the accuracy of the energy levels for Ne^9?

While the missing data may affect the precision of the calculated energy levels for Ne^9, the overall accuracy is not significantly impacted. The statistical model used to estimate the missing values has been validated and has been found to yield accurate results.

5. How can the results of this study be applied in practical applications?

The results of this study can be used in various practical applications, such as in the field of nuclear physics and astrophysics. The accurate energy levels for Ne^9 can help in understanding the behavior of this isotope in different environments and in predicting its role in nuclear reactions.
