Evaluated differential cross-sections for IBA

The evaluation of the cross-sections for any particular reaction consists in the elaboration of the most accurate possible cross-sections through incorporation of the all relevant experimental data in the framework of nuclear physics theory. The evaluated differential cross-sections for ion beam analysis are presented, comparison with the available experimental information is made, and discrepancies and other problems are discussed. The evaluated cross-sections can be retrieved for any scattering angle from the web site SigmaCalc (http://www.nds.iaea.org/sigmacalc/). They are also presented at the web site IBANDL (http://www.nds.iaea.org/ibandl) where a comparison of the available experimental data with results of the evaluation can be easily made.
