Description:
Stark shift of the B II line at 3451 A due to plasma microfields was measured in a luminous shock tube. Line profiles, photographically recorded in second order, were compared with closeby wavelength fiduciaries from low-pressure rare-gas lamps. Electron densities for each exposure were found by fitting H-beta profiles to theoretical line shapes. Results, estimated reliable to 25-30%, are compared with theoretical predictions.
