Hydrogen - Halpha cross section

Greetings,

i need the absorption cross section for the absorption of an H-alpha photon by a hydrogen atom, in the correct state of course, which I'm pretty sure is neutral hydrogen, n=2. I am needing this for a project, so i also need a reliable source where this comes from.

Thanks beforehand and friendly regards,
Raezeman

Haven't you been looking for this since July, have you not seen anything in the 5 months since?

Sort of. I wrote some code about this which technically works, i just need the exact number, but then a lot of other stuff came up that i had to do first, so i left searching for this value for later, which is now. And as i actually made lots of mistakes in my first thread, i thought better make a new one.
But please, someone who can help me?
 
Also, to be more precise, its the absorption cross section per hydrogen atom that i need.
 
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
