The databases ESTAR, PSTAR, and ASTAR calculate stopping-power and range tables for electrons, protons, or helium ions. Stopping-power and range tables can be calculated for electrons in any user-specified material and for protons and helium ions in 74 materials.

References contained in this database are from Bibliography on Atomic Energy Levels and Spectra, NBS Special Publication 363 and Supplements, as well as current references since the last published bibliography collected by the NIST Atomic Spectroscopy Data Center (http://www.nist.gov/physlab/div842/grp01/asdc_info.cfm).

The NIST Database of Cross Sections for Inner-Shell Ionization by Electron or Positron Impact provides cross sections for ionization of the K shell and of the L and M subshells of neutral atoms of the elements, from hydrogen to einsteinium, by electrons or positrons, for projectile energies from the ionization threshold to 1 GeV. These cross sections were calculated from a combination of the relativistic distorted-wave and the plane-wave Born approximations.
