Plasma shifts of CVI Lyman lines to shorter wavelengths. Annual report, November 4, 1981-September 30, 1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6554299
Blue shifts of approx. 85-60 mA have been observed for the first five members of the CVI Lyman series emitted from a laser-produced plasma plume at an electron density near 10/sup 21/cm/sup -3/. These shifts are much larger than density-dependent effects associated with electron collisions and inhomogeneities in ion-produced electric mcirofields and opposite to plasma polarization shifts according to the linearized Debye model. A nonlinear Debye-type model is consistent with the measurements.
