Chirped-Pulse Broadband Spectra of Benzene Discharges

Broadband chirped-pulse spectra of electrical discharges mixtures of Benzene with O₂ and N₂.

Spectra were recorded at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian on separate occasions; integration times are around ~12 hours (run overnight).

X000 and X001.csv files correspond to assignments made in each experiment; the leading number corresponds to the mixture, while the last digit corresponds to mid-band (0—6–19 GHz) and high-band (1—18–27 GHz) measurements.

4000/4001 - Benzene + Ne buffer gas

5000/5001 - Benzene + O₂ + Ne buffer gas

6000/6001 - Benzene + N₂ + Ne buffer gas

fit_SI.pdf corresponds to a compiled PDF of all of the assignments made across the experiments, including a `.fit` and `.lin` printout, where applicable. Entries with the fit outputs contain the parameter encodings used in the SPFIT program. This PDF was generated using `rosetta_stone_final.csv`, which provides a comprehensive mapping/naming used to refer to molecules studied in these mixtures.

The spectra used for analysis are provided as `.txt` files—prefixed by the mixture, with the corresponding frequency range for the acquisition.
