About data files

File naming convention

A file titled e*.dat contains elastic differential cross sections at different scattering angles and total cross sections for a set of energies of incident electron. Here the asterisk * designates the atomic number of the scatterer.
For example, e13.dat is the data file containing the elastic differential and total cross sections for Al.

File structure

Every file consists of data presented as follows.
Atomic number of the scatterer Z =
