Field Details

neutron

public static final ElementaryElement neutron

A neutron.

neutronMassMultiples

public static double[] neutronMassMultiples

Cache for the multiples of the neutron mass.

Constructor Details

ElementaryElement

public ElementaryElement()

Empty default constructor.

Method Details

getNeutronMassMultiple

public static double getNeutronMassMultiple(int i)

Returns the mass of the neutron multiplied by i. If i is smaller or equal to ten a value in cache is used. It is calculated otherwise. Throws an exception for negative i without sanity check.

Parameters:

i - i

Returns:

the mass of the neutron multiplied by i

getName

public String getName()

Returns the name of the element.

Returns:

the name of the element

getMass

public double getMass()

Returns the mass of the element.

Returns:

the mass of the element
