IMO, the best on-line database of collisional cross sections is that of the
National Institute for Fusion Science, Nagoya, Japan. Unfortunately, this is
not free yet so to get a userid send request to:

Research Information Center
National Institute for Fusion Science
Nagoya 464-01, JAPAN

Currently, GAPHYOR (http://gaphyor.lpgp.u-psud.fr) gives mostly bibliographic
info. ADAS (http://patiala.phys.strath.ac.uk/adas/) is essentially closed for
persons outside the ADAS consortium. The Oak Ridge depository includes a mirror of ADAS WWW pages and documents.
