Experimental research on energy levels and transitions in light nuclei.

Compilations summarizing experimental information on the energy levels of nuclei from He⁵ to Ne²⁴, with T. Lauritsen. These tables are the standard reference on the subject.

Contributed valuably to many important organizational activitie involving the nuclear physics community, see additional information below.
