| Error propagation in extrapolated nuclear mass predictions (1983) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| The properties of the error of the nuclear masses calculated from the transverse mass relations are analysed. The work assumes that the calculated errors of the nuclei whose masses are known experimentally behave as a sample selected randomly from a normal population having a zero mean and a standard deviation σ . It is found that the errors of the calculated masses of nuclei far from the line of beta-stability behave as c 1 d 3/2 where c 1 is a constant and d is the distance of the nucleus from the line of beta-stability. It is shown also that the errors related to the calculated mass differences behave as c 2 d 1/2 where c 2 is another constant..
