c
c     this is an iaea subroutine to calculate cross sections for
c     projectile energy (ev).
c
c     pe =  electron energy (ev)
c
c     the number of fitting parameters varies depending on the
c     number of terms taken in the numerical fitting and on the
c     allowance for excitation autoionization in the cross section
c     to fit cross sections with excitation autoionization two seperate
c     fits are defined. one from the ionization threshold and a second
c     fit for energies above the autoionization threshold.
c     the number of parameters in any entry is given by kncf
c
c     pcf(1) = ionization potential (ev)
c     pcf(2-7) = fitting parameters ( can be less than 6 parameters)
c
c     if cross section has excitation autoionization structure then
c     for the second fit
c
c     pcf(8) = autoionization threshold (ev)
c     pcf(9) = ionization potential (ev)
c     pcf(10-15) = fitting parameters for this fit (can be less than
c                  6 parameters)
c
c     kncf = number of parameters supplied in pcf (must be 8)
c     pxs = ionization cross section (cm[2])
