What it answers

Each answer names its dataset and ends with the page to cite.

Tool	What it returns	Try asking
Radioactive decay radioactive_decay	Calculate parent and daughter activities using NuDat 3 half-lives and branching.	“What activity does Tc-99m reach after 24 hours from Mo-99?”
Point-source gamma collision air-kerma rate gamma_dose_rate	Compute a point-source air-kerma rate constant from listed NNDC photon lines and NIST air energy-absorption coefficients, with resolved LNHB photon supplements.	“What is the air-kerma rate at 1 m from 1 MBq of Co-60?”
Accelerator power and synchrotron loss synchrotron_loss	Calculate dipole synchrotron energy loss per turn, radiated power per beam and critical photon energy in an isomagnetic ring.	“How much synchrotron energy do 7 TeV LHC protons lose per turn at a bending radius of 2804 m and a current of 580 mA?”
Radiation units converter convert_radiation_units	Convert a radiation value between units of the same quantity.	“How many GBq are in one Ci?”
Photon attenuation photon_attenuation	Narrow-beam photon attenuation from NIST XCOM.	“How much does 10 mm of lead attenuate 662 keV photons?”
Charged-particle energy loss energy_loss	Bethe and Landau thin-absorber estimates and a CSDA range for a heavy charged particle.	“How much energy does a 100 MeV proton lose in 300 micrometres of silicon?”
Material properties material_properties	Density, Z/A, mean excitation energy, radiation length, nuclear interaction and collision lengths, electron critical energy, Moliere radius and available melting and boiling points for 17 materials.	“What are the radiation length in g/cm2 and cm and the electron critical energy of silicon?”
Silicon and germanium detector signal detector_signal	Most probable and mean electron-hole pairs, collected charge, energy deposit and Landau FWHM.	“What signal does a 3 GeV/c muon produce in 300 micrometres of silicon?”

The citation rule

Every answer ends with the ScienceShot page it came from and names the reference dataset behind the numbers. When you use a figure, cite that dataset and link the page. Answers are computed, not recalled: the same inputs give the same numbers as the tool on the page.

Limits

• Read-only. It computes and returns values; it stores nothing and needs no account.
• Fair use. Assistants call from shared servers, so a busy hour can slow answers.

Batch runs, PDF reports and CSV export are planned: What Pro will include.
