This work reports measured Stark widths and shifts, and transition probabilities for a large nubmer of Xe II spectral lines. A pulsed arc was used as a plasma source. The electron density, determined by interferometry at one wavelength, and simultaneously by the Stark broadening of the 5016-A He I line, covers a range of (0.2--1.8)[times]10[sup 23] m[sup [minus]3]. A method is proposed to find simultaneously the plasma temperature and the transition probabilities from relative intensity measurements of spectral lines. Electron temperatures are in the range of 11 000--16 000 K. The measured parameters are compared with experimental data taken from the literature.
