Abstract

A critical review of the available experimental data on Stark widths and shifts for spectral lines of non-hydrogenic neutral atoms and positive ions has been carried out. The review covers the period from 1983 through the end of 1988 and represents a continuation of earlier critical reviews up to 1982. Data tables containing the selected experimental Stark broadening parameters are presented with estimated accuracies. Guidelines for the accuracy estimates have been done developed during the previous reviews and are summarized. The data are arranged according to elements and spectra, and these are presented in alphabetical and numerical order, respectively. Comparisons with comprehensive calculations based either on the semiclassical theory, or—for multiply ionized atoms—on the modified semiempirical approximation, are made whenever possible, since the comparison with theory has often been a principal motivation for the experiments.
