Dear all,
version 1 of the Portal for High-Precision Atomic Data and Computation has been released by our colleagues at University of Delaware and is accessible via: http://www.udel.edu/atom/.
The portal provides transition matrix elements, transition rates, radiative lifetimes, branching ratios, and polarizabilities for atoms and ions. The team seeks community input, and all comments and suggestions are welcome and can be addressed to Marianna Safronova.
Applause for this great initiative, which provides all properties of our favourite ions at one glance, with many more still to come !
