HIGH-RESOLUTION ABSORPTION CROSS-SECTION MEASUREMENTS OF SUPERSONIC JET-COOLED CARBON-MONOXIDE BETWEEN 92.5 AND 97.4 NANOMETERS

High-resolution photoabsorption cross sections for eight CO bands, at wavelengths between 92.5 nm and 97.4 nm, have been measured in a super sonic jet-cooled source (approximate to 20 K) at the Photon Factory sy nchrotron radiation facility. New integrated cross sections are report ed for four bands between 92.5 nn and 94.2 mm. A low-temperature spect rum of the W(1)-X(0) band (95.6 nm), which was used to determine the a bsorbing CO column densities, is also presented. Additional jet-cooled cross section measurements were made on the L(0)-X(0) K(0)-X(0), and W(0)-X(0) bands (96.7-97.4 nm) which verify previously published resul ts. A self-consistent set of band oscillator strengths is presented fo r the eight bands studied.
