Four recent approaches to numerical calculations of Delbrueck scattering amplitudes are used to produce state-of-the-art numerical predictions in tabular form, viz. the lowest-order Born approximation (method A), the small-angle high-energy approximation (methods B and C), and the large-angle high-energy approximation (method D). These four methods of Delbrueck scattering calculation are complementary in the sense that their ranges of validity are different. The proper use of the present tabulation, therefore, involves selection and interpolation procedures between the different results. Consequently, this tabulation may yet be considered premature. On the other hand, there are enormous difficulties in carrying out the numerical computation contained in all four methods and there appears to be little hope that a calculation that is free of approximations may be carried out. Therefore, the present tabulation will remain state-of-the-art for the foreseeable future.
