Abstract

We discuss different nuclear mass tables (experimental and calculated) in the context of the Garvey–Kelson relations and show how these relations can provide a very useful tool to test and improve the consistency of the models.

Keywords: Binding energies and masses.

 

Resumen

Se discuten las masas nucleares en el marco de las relaciones Garvey–Kelson y como usar esas relaciones para probar y mejorar la consistencia de modelos teóricos.

Descriptores: Energías de amarre y masas nucleares.
