Broadening of the Lyman-. cap alpha. line of hydrogen by low-frequency electric fields in dense plasmas

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., A; (United States)
Using the quasistatic approximation as basis for the description of broadening by ion-produced fields and the impact approximation for electron-produced high-frequency fields, an analytic approximation procedure is developed and applied which allows for slow variations of the total field acting on a radiating atom. This low-frequency Stark broadening depends on the radiator velocity and is therefore correlated with the thermal Doppler broadening. The theory is extended to Lyman-..cap alpha.. lines of hydrogenic ions.
