the element, the numerical labels of the active electron shells (see table 6.1), the<br />
transition probability and the energy of the emitted x-ray or electron, respectively.<br />
Table 6.1: Numerical labels used to designate atomic electron shells. In the case of nonradiative<br />
transitions, the label 99 indicates shells beyond the M5 shell.<br />

92 files named PDEELZZ.TAB with ZZ=atomic number (01–92). These files contain<br />
integrated cross sections for elastic scattering of electrons and positrons by neutral<br />
atoms, calculated by using the partial-wave methods described in section 3.1 (Salvat,<br />
2000). The first line in each file gives the atomic number ZZ; each subsequent<br />
line has 7 columns with the following data:<br />
1st column: kinetic energy (eV), in increasing order.<br />
2nd column: total cross section for electrons.<br />
3rd column: first transport cross section for electrons.<br />
4th column: second transport cross section for electrons.<br />
5th column: total cross section for positrons.<br />
6th column: first transport cross section for positrons.<br />
7th column: second transport cross section for positrons.<br />
The grid of energies is approximately logarithmic, with 15 points per decade, and<br />
is the same for all elements. All cross sections are in cm 2 .<br />
92 files named PDEBRZZ.TAB with ZZ=atomic number (01–92). They contain the<br />
atomic bremsstrahlung scaled cross sections (energy loss spectra) and total integrated<br />
radiative cross sections of electrons, for a grid of electron kinetic energies E<br />
and reduced photon energies W/E that is dense enough to allow the use of cubic<br />
spline log-log interpolation in E and linear interpolation in W/E. The data in<br />
these files is from a database, with 32 reduced photon energies, which was provided<br />
to the authors by Steve Seltzer (a brief description of the methods used to<br />
compute the database and a reduced tabulation is given in Seltzer and Berger,
