Thanks, but it didn't help. My results for 4 and 5 (and *only* for 4 and 5) are different by a *relative* error of 1e-5 and you put in an *absolute* tolerance of 1e-7. That is something like a relative error of nearly 1e-11. I don't think we're going to make it unless we figure out why the target values in those two cases are so far out of line with the others.
I used the following constants:
Av=6.02214199e23;
1.6021773e-13(J/MeV);
1year=365.25 days
I see. I have checked on the web and there seems to be a wide disagreement on the conversion factor between amu and kg. After the first 4 digits, all bets are off. Using your value of Av makes the cases 4,5 work though. Thanks!
