Guide for atomic and particle physicists to CODATA's recommended values of the fundamental physical constants

Atomic Physics 2009-01-09 v1

Abstract

The CODATA recommended values of the fundamental constants are widely applied in particle, nuclear and atomic physics. They are a result of a complicated evaluation (adjustment) of numerous correlated data of different nature. Their application is often rather mechanical and as a result is not free of various confusions which are discussed in this note.
