Abstract

The helium singlet 1s4d-1s2p line (492.2 nm) has been measured in a corona discharge done in liquid helium at 4.2 K. A significant shift towards the blue direction is visible on the spectrum. Using an empirical model for the He-He* potential energy difference, we have performed a fitting of the line shape. The best-fit result is in good agreement with the experimental spectrum. It is shown that the blue shift is determined by the maximum of the potential energy difference function. Based on the fitting results, we give an estimate of this quantity.
