This database contains critically evaluated transition frequencies for the molecular transitions detected in interstellar and circumstellar clouds reported in the literature through mid-2008. The tabulated transition frequencies are recommended for reference in future astronomical observations in the centimeter and millimeter wavelength regions. The transition frequencies have been selected through a critical examination and analysis of the laboratory spectral data obtained from the literature.

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.

SRM 1546a Meat Homogenate - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining fatty acids, cholesterol, proximates, calories, elements, vitamins, and amino acids in canned meat products and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The meat homogenate is a mixture of pork and chicken products blended together in a commercial process. A unit of SRM 1546a consists of four cans, each containing approximately 85 g of material.

SRM 1849a Infant/Adult Nutritional Formula - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining proximates, fatty acids, cholesterol, vitamins, elements, amino acids, and nucleotides in infant and adult nutritional formulas and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The SRM is a milk-based, hybrid infant/adult nutritional powder prepared by a manufacturer of infant formula and adult nutritional products.

SRM 2384 Baking Chocolate - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in validating methods for determining proximates, fatty acids, calories, vitamins, elements, catechins, caffeine, and theobromine in baking chocolate and similar matrices. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The SRM is baking chocolate prepared from 100 % cocoa beans by a manufacturer of baking chocolate and consists of a single production lot.

SRM 2387 Peanut Butter - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in validating methods for determining proximates, fatty acids, calories, vitamins, elements, amino acids, aflatoxins, and acrylamide in peanut butter and similar matrices. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The SRM is a creamy peanut butter prepared by a manufacturer of peanut butter products. A unit of SRM 2387 consists of three jars of peanut butter containing 170 g each.
