Data are collected in Fig. 4.4.2a.
Cross sections were calculated by two different fitting procedures (Padé with 18 parameters and Spline). These results are compared to selected experimental data in Fig. 4.4.2b. It is seen that both fits reproduce the experimental data well. The best approximation was judged to be the Padé fit. Recommended cross sections are compared with selected experimental data, including their error bars, in Fig. 4.4.2c. The corresponding numerical values are tabulated in Tab. 4.4.2a.
Yields were calculated from the recommended cross sections and are presented in Fig. 4.4.2d and tabulated in Tab.4.4.2b .
