THE ELECTRONIC-SPECTRUM OF CARBON-DIOXIDE - DISCRETE AND CONTINUUM PHOTOABSORPTION OSCILLATOR-STRENGTHS (6-203 EV)

The recently developed high resolution dipole (e, e) method, which is free of Beer-Lambert law `'line saturation'' errors, has been used to determine absolute photoabsorption oscillator strengths for the discrete electronic excitation of carbon dioxide in the energy region 6-30 eV. Low resolution dipole (e, e) measurements (1 eV fwhm) have also been made in the equivalent photon energy range 8.5-203 eV. The absolute scale of the present measurements was obtained by TRK sum-rule normalization.
