NIST Electron-Impact Ionization Cross Section Database - SRD 107

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Metadata Last Checked: June 27, 2025 | Last Modified: 2005-08-01 00:00:00

This is a database of total ionization cross sections of atoms and molecules by electron impact. The cross sections were calculated using the Binary-Encounter-Bethe (BEB) model, which combines the Mott cross section with the high-incident energy behavior of the Bethe cross section. Selected experimental data are included. Singly differential cross sections are included for H, He, and H2. Electron-impact excitation cross sections are also included for selected atoms.
