The binding energies of 29Si, 33S, and 36Cl have been measured with a relative uncertainty 0.65 x 10 -6 using a flat-crystal spectrometer. The unique features
As it embarks on its second 100 years, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is developing new approaches to realizing and disseminating the SI
Jules Zeiser Klose, 77, an atomic physicist at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), died Sunday
The relative standard uncertainty (computed relative standard deviation of the mean) is shown to be intrinsically normalized when the averaged values all have
Quantum walks have deep connections to quantum search algorithms, quantum cellular automata, quantum chaotic maps, and quantum state transfer. One of the
We consider screening of the core-hole potential experienced by the ejected electron in core-excitation processes. This potential affects near-edge structure
Wavelengths of seven spectral lines of Fe I, Ge I and Pt I between 1932 and 1938 have been measured with uncertainties of less than 1x10 -4 (5 parts in 10 8)
