This class exists to provide some basic information on nuclei to nuclear mass classes which are children of nucmass.
Elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 are named "Uut", "Uup", "Uus", and "Uuo", respectively, until the IUPAC decides on their names. Note that some of the nuclear mass tables use older or alternative names for the heavier elements, so Ztoel() may return something different than is stored in, e.g., nucmass_ame::entry::el.
int o2scl::nucmass_info::eltoZ | ( | std::string | el | ) |
If the string parameter el
is invalid, the error handler is called and the value -1 is returned.
int o2scl::nucmass_info::parse_elstring | ( | std::string | ela, |
int & | Z, | ||
int & | N, | ||
int & | A | ||
) |
Accepts strings of one of the following forms:
Pb208
pb208
Pb 208
Pb-208
pb 208
pb-208
or one of the special strings n
, p
, d
or t
for the neutron, proton, deuteron, and triton, respectively. This function also allows the value of A to precede the element symbol.Warn about malformed combinations like Carbon-5
Right now, n4
is interpreted incorrectly as Nitrogen-4, rather than the tetraneutron.
Interpret strings with the full name rather than just the abbreviation.
std::string o2scl::nucmass_info::tostring | ( | size_t | Z, |
size_t | N | ||
) |
Note that if Z
is zero, then and 'n'
is used to indicate the a nucleus composed entirely of neutrons and if the argument Z
is greater than 118, the error handler is called.
std::string o2scl::nucmass_info::Ztoel | ( | size_t | Z | ) |
"n"
indicating the neutron for Z=0, and if the argument Z
is greater than 118, then the error handler is called. Documentation generated with Doxygen. Provided under the
