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,
