Abstract
Collisions that penetrate the wavefunction extent are not correctly accounted for by the usual long-range dipole approximation. Since the interaction is softened for penetrating collisions a reduction in line broadening is expected and indeed this is the case with isolated ion lines. Here we report an enhancement of broadening for H-like ions due to penetration. This has a simple physical explanation and potentially important applications.
