Data file structure
The data files consists of many lines, each with 8 (space delimited) columns as follows:
| Z | A | E (GeV) | Theta (degrees) | energy loss (GeV) | sigma (nb/sr/GeV) | error (random) | citation (Spires notation) |
This structure allows one to keep all the data (even all nuclei and all energies and angles) in a single file and extract particular data files with fortan, C, or even a simple awk command in a terminal (see the Utilities section).
N.B. The E02-019 (Fomin:2010ei) data was originally provided to us in a nine-column format, with both statistical and systematic errors, and takes that format in the archive. The fifth column of any E02-019 (Fomin:2010ei) data is in x=Q^2/2mν instead of energy loss.
