Atomic and Nuclear Properties of Materials
for more than 300 materials

Click on element or other materal for properties of interest in high-energy physics: stopping power (<-dE/dx>) tables including radiative losses for muons, nuclear and pion collision and interaction lengths, electron, positron, and muon critical energies, radiation length, Moliere radius, plasma energy, and links to isotope and x-ray mass atteunation coefficient tables and plots.

This AtomicNuclearProperties page is upgraded as needed in response to suggestions and requests for new materials.
Suggestions and comments are welcome. Please report errors.

Chemical elements: For entries in red, a pull-down menu permits selection of the physical state.
Cryogenic liquid densties are at the boiling point at 1 atm.

WARNING: Properties such as boiling points and refractive indices are taken from a variety of sources of mixed dependability.
They are not carefully vetted. Corrections are invited.
