New table of recommended nuclear electric quadrupole moments

A new Table of Recommended Nuclear Electric Quadrupole Moments has been prepared and published by the Nuclear Data Section of the IAEA, Vienna Stone (2013). The main feature of the new Table is the adoption, wherever possible, of the best available calculation of the electric field gradient (efg), required to extract the moment from the measured quantity in most measurement methods. All original results have been normalized to take account of differences between the efg used in the original publication and the adopted value. The aim of the new table is to provide a standard reference in which the value given for each moment is the best available and for which full provenance is given
