Nuclear data sheets for A=126

In order to contribute to the international collaboration for revising Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF), nuclear structure and decay data have been evaluated for 16 known A=126 nuclides (Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Te, I, Xe, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Nd). A=126 mass chain was last evaluated in 2002, which was published in Nuclear Data Sheets. The current work is an update of that evaluation. Experimental data from about 50 new publications since the previous evaluation have been incorporated. Even when no new publications appeared, some previous datasets have been modified for -decay Q values and conversion coefficients. Adopted values for about 1300 levels and 2300 gammas have been presented from data of various decays and reactions. Inconsistencies and discrepancies have been noted.
