Values marked # are estimated from systematic trends rather than experimentally measured.
Spins quoted in parentheses are uncertain in value and/or parity.
Sources: Except as otherwise noted,
isotopic masses and associated energies are taken from the AME 2003 dataset;[1]
nuclear spins and decay properties are taken from NUBASE 2003.[2]
