Quantitative photoabsorption and fluorescence study of HCl in vacuum ultraviolet
Abstract
The photoabsorption and fluorescence cross sections of HCl were measured in the 106-185 nm region. Sharp absortion bands appear at wavelengths shorter than 135 nm, and fluorescence occurs at several excited states. The fluorescence cross sections are generally quite small, indicating that the excited states are strongly predissociative. The molecular processes for producing the VUV and UV fluorescences are investigated, and the Rydberg characteristics of the strong absorption bands are discussed.
