Relativistic Velocity Calculation (2003 Mass Table)
- mass calculated by: mass_true = mass*u + mass excess + elecrons*me;
- v/c = sqrt{1.0 - 1.0/[(energy/mass_true+1)*(energy/mass_true+1)]}
- constant: c=29.9792458 cm/ns - speed of light
- constant: u=931.494013 MeV - atomic mass unit
- constant: me=0.510999890 MeV - electron mass
- Mass excess values are from the 2003 mass table of G. Audi, A. H. Wapstra and C. Thibault, Nuclear Physics A729 (2003) p. 337-676. This version of the Mass Table was taken from NNDC at BNL;
