FYI
NEW VALUES OF THE FUNDAMENTAL CONSTANTS
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu
The 1998 CODATA self-consistent set of recommended values of the constants
is now available at the Web site of the Physics Laboratory’s Fundamental
Constants Data Center, physics.nist.gov/cuu, or directly at
physics.nist.gov/constants.  The new set results from the 1998 CODATA
least-squares adjustment of the values of the constants, which takes into
account all of the data available through 31 December 1998, carried out by
Peter J. Mohr and Barry N. Taylor of the Physics Laboratory under the
auspices of the CODATA Task Group on Fundamental Constants and with the
partial support of the Standard Reference Data Program.
