Hi Dirk,

cctbx has tools to obtain N-gaussian approximation of scattering tables,
for any element, where the number of gaussians N is determined dynamically
to obtain desired accuracy of fit. That's what is used by phenix.refine and
other related tools.

See page 27 here:
http://cci.lbl.gov/publications/download/iucrcompcomm_jan2004.pdf
which answers your question (lists 1-gaussian parameters for N).

I guess there is a way to either specify N manually or force it to use N=1
by defining certain accuracy threshold, so you can get the numbers for
other elements.
