Notes:
Three significant causes of spectral line asymmetry: the ion-quadrupole interaction, the quadratic Stark effect, and fine-structure splitting, are included in the calculation of Lyman line profiles emitted by highly ionized hydrogenic radiators in a dense, hot plasma. The line asymmetries are shown to be strongly dependent on the plasma density, indicating that the asymmetry may be of use as a density diagnostic. This work was supported by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under sub-contract #5962705.
