DESCRIPTION: The Complex Optical Potential (COP) data includes cross sections for total elastic, momentum transfer and viscosity cross sections for elastic scattering of electrons from the heavy noble gases from threshold at zero energy to 1 keV. This method allows for the loss of flux from the incident channel into the excitation and ionization channels when these inelastic processes are energetically possible. The publications which include these results also contain analytic fits to the data over the whole energy range. These calculations were carried out by R. P. McEachran, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia and A. D. Stauffer, York University, Toronto, Canada.
