Analysis of the Line Profiles of CH3CN for the J = 5 <-- 4 and J = 6 <-- 5 Rotational Transitions.
The pressure broadening, pressure shift coefficients, and absolute intensities have been obtained for the J = 6 <-- 5 and the J = 5 <-- 4 absorption lines of acetonitrile CH3CN at 110 and 92 GHz, respectively. The absorption line shapes have been directly recorded modulating the radiation beam by an optical chopper. In addition to the self-effects, the foreign-broadening coefficients have also been measured for N2, O2, and Ar. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
