GENIE and DANSE are two Internet Search Engines for Atomic and Molecular Data. Both of these
engines allow a multi-database search and retrieval of numerical or bibliographical data. GENIE
(GENeral Internet search Engine) is dedicated to numerical data and is freely accessible though the
two URLs (http://www-amdis.iaea.org and http://gap3.lpgp.u-psud.fr/GENIE). DANSE (Data
Around the Net Search Engine), still undergoing testing searches bibliographical data.
1. GENIE
GENIE is a web search engine dedicated to numerical atomic data. Searches can be performed for
energy levels and transition probabilities as well for electronic ionisation or excitation cross-sections.
Data are retrieved simultaneously from these different databases:
Oscillator strengths, transition probabilities and energy levels
NIST Atomic Spectra Database: http://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/AtData/main_asd
Kurucz’s CD-ROM 23: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/amdata/ampdata/kurucz23/sekur.html
Atomic Line List v.2.04: http://www.pa.uky.edu/~peter/atomic
TOPbase (Opacity Project): http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/topbase/home.html
Kelly Atomic Line Database: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/amdata/ampdata/kelly/kelly.html

Electronic ionisation or excitation cross-sections

NIFS Database: http://dbshino.nifs.ac.jp
Searches are done in a very simple way by just giving an atom or a specific ion within a wavelength
range for energy levels and transition probabilities and an atom or an ion with a process type
(excitation or ionisation) for collisional data. A user is allowed to select one or more databases for
querying. The original format of the query output is retained for each of the databases. Finally, a
short description is provided for each of the databases.

2. DANSE
DANSE is dedicated to atomic and molecular bibliographical data. It retrieves simultaneously data
from the 3 well-known bibliographic databases:
AMBDAS at the IAEA: http://ripcrs01.iaea.or.at/AMBDAS/
GAPHYOR at LPGP: http://gaphyor.u-psud.fr/gaphyor/gaphyor.html
CFADC Database at. ORNL: http://www-cfadc.phy.ornl.gov/bibliography/search3.html

Domains of interest are atomic and molecular physics. Fields covered are:
1. Electronic collisions
2. Heavy particles collisions
3. Photonic collisions
4. Gas-surface interactions
5. Properties of atoms and molecules
A user is allowed to select one or more databases for querying and the original format of the query
output is retained for each of the databases. Parameters and scientific fields may differ from one
database to another one. Then upon a request one database can be automatically unselected. For
example for “Properties of Atoms and Molecules”, the CFADC Bibliographic Database is unselected
as this database does not include this kind of data.
The input parameters can be either:
•
Categories with their range of processes
•
One or two reactants with their ionization state
•
One surface
•
One isoelectronic sequence
•
KeywordsOne author
•
A range of years

Before a beta version of the search engine becomes available, some lacks and inconsistencies in the
table of processes have still to be addressed. Therefore the divulgation of DANSE on the web has
been postponed to the end of this year.
