Abstract

Using synchrotron radiation, the production of Ly- alpha and Balmer atomic fluorescence from photodissociation of H2 has been investigated from 620 to 350 AA. Upper limits for the corresponding cross sections were measured, at 425 AA, and found to be 1*10-20 cm2 and 2*10-21 cm2, respectively.
