Description
At the heart of the Plasma Data Exchange Project is LXcat (pronounced "elecscat"), an open-access website for collecting, displaying, and downloading electron and ion scattering cross sections, swarm parameters (mobility, diffusion coefficient, etc.), reaction rates, energy distribution functions, etc. and other data required for modeling low temperature plasmas. The available data bases have been contributed by members of the community and are indicated by the contributor's chosen title.

The electron and ion databases were originally separate structures and accessible through two different websites called LXCat and ICECat, respectively. In April 2012, the databases were combined into a common structure and we have incorporated the ICECat site into LXCat. Both electron and ion data are now accessible from this one site.

Eindhoven University of Technology joined the project in 2013 installing a mirroring server for a more relaible service https://nl.lxcat.net/home/ , as the original URL does not always work (https://fr.lxcat.net/home/).
