Status Report of the new NSDD Data Center at Texas A&M

Since 2005, the Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M, has invested significant effort on ENSDF mass-chain evaluations that was financed by a contract with NNDC-BNL. All resulting evaluation work at Texas A&M has been based on the technical input of an ENSDF evaluator and a scientific adviser. Furthermore, the evolution and emerging status of the center has furnished the opportunity for direct funding through a US DOE grant, and the Cyclotron Institute was approved as a new ENSDF Data Evaluation Center at the International Network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Evaluators meeting in 2017.
