This workshop offers an opportunity to explore nuclear structure and decay data and their applications, gain practical experience with modern nuclear databases and become familiar with the evaluation process used to produce the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF).

The Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF) is a unique database of recommended values of nuclear structure properties such as level energies, spins and parities, branching ratios and decay radiation, that are widely used in fundamental nuclear research and nuclear applications.
The 11th workshop of its kind, this event offers an introduction to the evaluation methods, policies and analysis tools that are used to evaluate the experimental data in ENSDF.
The workshop provides a suite of lectures on modern experimental methdos and techniques, as well as an overview of nuclear structure theories; participants will be guided through the available nuclear structure and decay data online resources, and will gain insight on how nuclear data is applied in various fields. Finally, they will be directly involved in compilation and evaluation of nuclear structure and decay data using the ENSDF analysis and utility codes.
