R80-The Nuclear Parameters used in the Nuclear Rotor Atlas Explorer

Here is a detailed explanation of each of the fifteen nuclear parameters that you can use in combination as each of the three axes in creating the 3D chart within the Nuclear Rotor Atlas Explorer. What they are, what units they use, how they are calculated, and then how they are adjusted to fit into the 0-999 value range needed for the chart. The Nuclear Rotor Atlas features a multidimensional description of each nucleus as a balanced 4-D rotor system, where traditional energies (binding, Coulomb, pairing, deformation) are reinterpreted as geometric stress and curvature relationships. The number of protons (Z) and neutrons (N) can also be used as axes, but are self-explanatory and so are not treated in further detail here. The word “score” at the end of each of these parameter names is to indicate that they have been adjusted to fit into the 3D chart, which uses values from 0 to 999. How those adjustments have been made is also described. (Sometimes it’s a linear adjustment, sometimes logarithmic.)
