NUCLEAR GROUND-STATE CHARGE RADII FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC-INTERACTIONS

The Tables summarize experimental results from muonic atom transition energies, nuclear charge parameters from elastic electron scattering, and K x-ray isotope shifts in so far as they provide information on nu clear ground-state charge radii. Numerous experimental results for opt ical isotope shifts have been published elsewhere; for eight elements the relevant information is condensed (''projected'') here to one opti cal line per element. A model-independent analysis which combines data from all three experimental methods is applied to these elements and is presented as an illustration of the improved accuracy for the rms r adii and Barrett radii which result from this analysis.
