Title: Fitted empirical reference cross sections for /ital K/-shell ionization by protons

Journal Article · · At. Data Nucl. Data Tables; (United States)

On the basis of our recent reiew of experimental cross sections for /ital K/-shell ionization by light ions, we present a table of best-fitted cross sections for protons on all elements from /sub 4/Be to /sub 92/U. Experimental cross sections are first normalized by the ECPSSR theory of Brandt and Lapicki; then the normalized values are averaged, interpolated, and used to produce reference cross sections (19 values per enery decade). Particular attention is given to assigning a reasonable uncertainty to the reference values: the error consists of a calculated random contribution and an estimated systematic contribution which describes both the influence of a small deficiency of the theory and the influence of possible bias in the data. A complete list of experimental data is given. /copyright/ 1989 Academic Press, Inc.
