Description
The Atomic Mass Evaluation (AME) is the most reliable source for comprehensive information related to the atomic masses. It provides the best values for the atomic masses and their associated uncertainties by evaluating all available experimental data from radioactive decays, nuclear reactions, and direct mass measurements using the weighted, least-squares approach. The mass-evaluation procedure in AME will be introduced and some important concepts will be mentioned. The latest AME mass table (AME2016), which has been submitted to the journal Chinese Physics C, will also be mentioned.
