COMMENTS: Absorption measurements with a precision of the energy scale is of ±5 meV using monochromatized synchrotron radiation as a light source

Absorption cross sections vs. photon energy (9-13.5 eV) plotted in Fig. 2 have been digitized and converted to absorption cross sections vs. wavelength

Fig. 1 (8-20 eV) is identical with Fig. 1 of
