#include <nucleus.h>
The variable part::m is typically used for the mass of the nucleus with no electrons.
The binding energy of the nucleus (be) 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 (be) is defined as the mass of the nucleus including the electron contribution minus a times the mass of the atomic mass unit.
The variable part::inc_rest_mass is set to false
by default, to insure that energies and chemical potentials do not include the rest mass. This is typically appropriate for nuclei.
