This is a Palm implementation of the Particle Data Book, a pocket reference for particle physicists.

The data contained in this product comes from the Particle Data Group. Any errors in this product are my own, however.

Features:

* Physical and astrophysical constants

* Data on masses and widths for all particles in the Review of Particle Properties

* Custom font to allow proper display of physics symbols

* Can select and copy a displayed value for use in your Palm calculator

Updated Description:

* v 2.0 (9/21/06):

o Includes latest particle data. The data comes directly from the computer-readable file generated in June 2006, found at http://pdg.lbl.gov/2006/mcdata/mass_width_2006.mc.

o Includes up-to-date 2006 Review of Particle Properties values for physical and astrophysical constants.

o Displayed quantities now include error data.

o Includes new help dialogs showing how to use the program.

o Particle widths in GeV can now also be displayed as mean lifetime in seconds. Lifetime numbers are not from the Particle Data Group; they are calculated in the usual way as hbar/width.

o Standard ID numbers used in particle physics Monte Carlos are now shown.

o Tested on recent Palm devices (Treo 600, Treo 650).

* v 1.1 (9/19/01):

o rewritten to build in all data

o PDBookData.pdb eliminated

o can now beam the application from one device to another

o fixed issue with icon appearance in 4-bit grayscale display

* v 1.01:

o fixed error in value of astronomical unit (AU)

* v 1.0:

o initial release
