A <nuclear physicist> who authored guidelines for evaluating measured nuclear-structure data. The evaluator's task is to reconcile measurements into an internally consistent set of <energy levels>, <nuclear spins>, <parities> and transition properties, while distinguishing a firm assignment from a tentative one. Such work makes a nuclear-data table an assessed physical model rather than a list of unexamined measurements.<Guidelines for Nuclear Structure Evaluators by Murray J. Martin>[Sections on adopted levels, spin/parity arguments and electromagnetic transition strengths]{ref}
