Abstract

Photoabsorption cross sections and oscillator strengths for the strong, predissociating vibrational bands, v 11, in the S2 B 3..u .. X 3..g (v; 0) system are reported. Absorption measurements were undertaken of S2 vapor in a radio-frequency discharge through H2S seeded in helium and in a two-temperature sulfur furnace at temperatures of 37010 K and 82310 K, respectively. S2 column densities were determined in each source by combining experimental line strengths in low-v non-predissociating B ..X bands (v < 7) with calculated line f-values based on measured radiative lifetimes and calculated branching ratios. The broad-band capabilities of two vacuum-ultraviolet Fourier-transform spectrometers, used with instrumental resolutions of 0.22 cm..1 and 0.12 cm..1, allowed for simultaneous recordings of both non-predissociating and predissociating bands, thus placing the predissociating-band cross sections on a common absolute scale. Uncertainties in the nal cross-section datasets are estimated to be 15% for the 370-K vapor and 10% for the 823-K vapor. The experimental cross sections are used to inform a detailed predissociation model of the B(v) levels in an accompanying paper (following paper, this issue). For astrophysical and other applications, this model can be adjusted simply to provide isotopologue-speci c cross sections for a range of relevant temperatures.
