Dispersed fluorescence of wavelengths between 75 and 180 nm has been recorded after excitation of room temperature H 2 X 1 Σ + g (v = 0) by narrow bandwidth monochromatized synchrotron radiation. Spectra have been taken in the exciting-photon energy range between 11 and 18 eV for discrete energy steps of 2.5 meV at a bandwidth of about 10 meV. The exciting-photon energy bandwidth has been narrow enough to induce transitions between individual rovibronic states. The resolution in the dispersed fluorescence detection was partly sufficient to resolve fluorescent transitions between individual rovibronic states. The recorded intensities are presented as two-dimensional photon-excitation photon-emission (PhexPhem) maps. They give a complete overview of experimental dispersed VUV/ FUV fluorescence spectra of H 2 for these excitation energies, covering excitation from H 2 X 1 Σ + g (v = 0) to all known singly excited states. The presented proof of principle experiments show a way to generate spectroscopic reference data for theory benchmarking and the interpretation of astrophysical observations.
