There are numerous www-sites with helpful information for atomic, nuclear, and particle physicists. A few are noted here here and will be used in several courses. Some will be specifically referenced in assignments and laboratorary work in PHYS-345, PHYS-430, and PHYS-430L. Many of these sites cross-reference databases. You are encouraged to puruse these to become familiar with what is there. If you have problems with, or questions about any of these sites, please consult your instructor and/or post these in an e-mail message. If you find additional helpful sites, please forward these in an e-mail message.
