Abstract
The theoretical basis is presented that allows to compute the Stark broadened line shapes of atomic ions up to the quadrupole terms in the interaction potential between the radiator and the plasma electric microfields and their gradients. The nature of the corrections due to the plasma polarization effects associated with the electron distribution around ion perturbers are carefully analyzed. The relevant universal plasma functions are evaluated in a cluster expansion or by Monte Carlo simulations, and the line shape is calculated with ion dynamic effects by the Model Microfield Method. The asymmetry of the Lyman line of hydrogenic ions is then studied.
