Secondary antiprotons are a potentially interesting probe of cosmic ray propagation because their production cross section is strongly energy-dependent, increasing by more than two orders of magnitude between 10 and 1000 GeV/c. This is quite unlike the case for fragmentation cross sections of complex nuclei, which are virtually constant with energy. Moreover, the flux depends primarily on the environment seen by protons which need not be identical to that probed by other nuclei.

SIGMAL is a short (∼ 100-line) Fortran program designed to rapidly compute cross-sections for L-shell ionization, particularly the partial crosssections required in quantitative electron energy-loss microanalysis. The program is based on a hydrogenic model, the L1 and L23 subshells being represented by scaled Coulombic wave functions, which allows the generalized oscillator strength (GOS) to be expressed analytically. In this basic form, the model predicts too large a cross-section at energies near to the ionization edge (see Fig. 1), due mainly to the fact that the screening effect of the atomic electrons is assumed constant over the L-shell region. This can be remedied by applying an energy-dependent correction to the GOS or to the effective nuclear charge, resulting in much closer agreement with experimental X-ray absorption data and with more sophisticated calculations (see Fig. 1 ).
