On the Stark broadening of the Ar VIII 115.47 and 116.19 nm lines

Abstract

The analysis of energy level data and plasma conditions show that the Ar VIII VUV lines 115.47 and 116.19 nm, measured in another experiment, are not isolated and that Debye shielding may be partially responsible for non-linear Stark width versus electron density dependence. For the line shape calculations in this case the Debye shielding and non-isolated line assumption should be taken into account.
