The photoabsorption cross section of UF/sub 6/ in the wavelength region between 206.7 nm (2.5 eV) and 43.5 nm (28.5 eV) has been derived from the UF/sub 6/ electron energy loss spectra at a 5degree scattering angle and at incident electron energies of 75 and 100 eV. The shape of the resulting optical spectrum agrees well with available high-resolution photoabsorption measurements in the 400 nm (3.1 eV) to 200 nm (6.3 eV) region. Below 200 nm, where no photoabsorption data are available, there is strong absorption and appreciable structure present. Absolute values of absorption cross sections have been obtained by normalizing the present relative data to the recently measured photoabsorption value at 225.5 nm. (AIP)
