To check if theories are accurate across the periodic table of elements and a large range of projectile energies, equally comprehensive databases are essential and a universal fit for them is desired.
In the Spring APS Annual Meeting [3], the fits for 6537 K-shell XRPCS induced by protons were marred by significant deviations for several target elements.
Although the mean ratio of all data to the fit was 1.03 their standard deviation was an unacceptable 149%.
After elimination of the data that are higher or lower than 1.0 for each target element by a factor of 5, a much-improved fit for all data is presented here.
Its 34% standard deviation is comparable to the reported uncertainties in the compiled XRPCS. The outliers so chosen are just 0.75 % of all 6537 XRPCS.
