Abstract:
       We present a uniform, compact and complete set of fit
       parameters to the cross sections for all subshells of atoms and ions of
       the elements under study. The partial photoionisation cross sections
       {sigma}_nl_(E) will be described by the fitting formula (equation 1):
       {sigma}_nl_(E)={sigma}_0_xF(E/E_0_) (in Mb),
       F(y)=[(y-1)^2^+(y_w_)^2^]y^-Q^[1+sqr(y/y_a_)]^-P^,
       where n is the principal quantum number of the shell, l=0, 1, 2
       (or s, p, d) is the subshell orbital quantum number, E is the photon
       energy in eV, y=E/E_0_; {sigma}_0_, y_w_, y_a_ and P are the fit
       parameters, and Q=5.5+l-0.5P.
