Plotting Tools
Features:
- Nucleus Data Search
- Isotope/Isotone/Isobar Chain Plot
- Correlation Plot
- Separation Energy Plot
- 3D Quadrupole Deformation Plot
- All results shown here were calculated with Lipkin-Nogami and are from Erler et al., Nature 486, 509 (2012).
1. Nucleus Data Search:
Input integers for the proton and neutron numbers:
Z = ,
N =
Proton number range: 2 to 120
Neutron number range: 2 to 300
*Data for odd-A and odd-odd nuclei are limited to binding energies,
separation energies, and Qα values
2. Isotope/Isotone/Isobar Chain Plot:
Include odd-A and odd-odd data
*Only available for binding energies, separation energies, and Qα values
Proton, Neutron or Mass Number:
- To zoom in, left click and drag over the desired area.
- To add/remove results for a given model, click on its name in the legend.
- To save this graph, click on the icon in the upper right hand corner.
3. Correlation Plot:
Include odd-A and odd-odd data
*Only available for binding energies, separation energies, and Qα values
Select the range for each nucleon number:
Proton number range: 2 ≤ to ≤ 120
Neutron number range: 2 ≤ to ≤ 300
Mass number range: 4 ≤ to ≤ 420
*If left blank, all available data will be plotted
Size of Points:
- To zoom in, left click and drag over the desired area.
- To add/remove results for a given model, click on its name in the legend.
- To save this graph, click on the icon in the upper right hand corner.
4. Separation Energy Plot:
- The points indicate the proton and neutron numbers where the separation energy equals the selected value (rounded to the nearest even integer).
- The lines between points are just to connect them; they contain no information.
- The drip lines shown are the proton and neutron numbers averaged over all 6 models where the two-nucleon separation energies are zero.
- Such a plot is valuable in learning about the astrophysical r and rp processes, which are expected to occur along trajectories of constant separation energy.
S2p= MeV, S2n= MeV
- To zoom in, left click and drag over the desired area.
- To add/remove results for a given model, click on its name in the legend.

5. 3D Quadrupole Deformation Plot:
- This 3D plot is supported by all browsers.
-
For Google Chrome and Safari web browsers:
- To rotate the graph, left click and drag any point on the black screen or the graph itself (all rotation is about the center).
- To zoom in/out, hold 'Shift' and drag the mouse up/down.
- Hover mouse on nucleus for the β2 value.
- Note: unlike the graphs above, this graph cannot be exported.
