Background and History
In 1958 a data center was established informally at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory by Dr. C. F. Barnett to collect, review, evalate and compile
numerical atomic collision data of interest to controlled thermonuclear
fusion research. Its first cross section compilation was published in 1960.
In 1963 this undertaking was formally established as the Atomic and
Molecular Processes Information Center, with the primary task of
producing extensive annotated bibliographic files of atomic data related
to fusion processes and compiling evaluated atomic collision data
pertinent to fusion research. In 1970 the Atomic and Molecular Processes
Information Center (AMPIC) became the Controlled Fusion Atomic Data
Center (CFADC).
