Detailed Description

A simple nucleus class.

The variable part::m is typically used for the mass of the nucleus with no electrons.

The binding energy of the nucleus is typically defined as the mass of the nucleus (without the electrons) minus Z times the mass of the proton minus N times the mass of the neutron.

The mass excess is defined as the mass of the nucleus including the electron contribution minus a times the mass of the atomic mass unit.
