NIFS DATABASE

The number of registered database users is 750 from 46 countries (April 2003). The distribution of the users by country is shown in Fig. 16.1. 

We have other numerical databases which you can use without registration (http //dpc.nifs.ac.jp/amdata/) as follows  

Cross-sections for electron impact ionization. Dissociations of molecules by electron impact are also compiled. (1456 sets). 

Cross-sections for electron impact excitations (21455 sets). 

Cross-sections and rate coefficients for electron impact recombination (25 785 sets).

NIFS databases are widely used directly and through IAEA Genie (only for excitation and ionization cross-sections). New molecular databases will be open soon. A new database for dielectronic satellite lines has been created. In order to store your data in our databases, we are grateful if you send us your numerical data which have been published in a Journal. Organized international collaboration for database would be more efficient for data evaluation and data compilation. 

NIFS Database, National Institute for Fusion Science, Toki, Japan ... 

We are working on atomic and molecular data and their application with the collaboration of Japanese scientists as well as foreign scientists in the Data and Planning Center (DPC) of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS). We organize working groups to compile atomic data and to apply atomic data in plasmas. The atomic numerical databases in NIFS can be used through the World Wide Web. They are explained in this paper. The domestic and international collaboration in our center are described.
