Comments: For determination of absorption cross sections a narrow band Hg-low pressure lamp with defined emission bands
at 185 nm and 254 nm was used.
Benzene as well as acetone show structured absorption spectra in the 254 nm region so that the absorption cross sections depend
fundamentally on the spectrometer bandwidth. The absorption cross sections measured with the Hg-lamp were considerably higher
than the broadband values in the literature.
For acetone sigma(254 nm) = 1.8 x 10-19 (cm2/molecule) and Phi(254 nm) = 0.5
