Abstract

Blue shifts of \ensuremath{\sim}85-60 m\AA{} have been observed for the first five members of the C vi Lyman series emitted from a laser-produced plasma plume at an electron density near ${10}^{21}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$. These shifts are much larger than density-dependent effects associated with electron collisions and inhomogeneities in ion-produced electric microfields and opposite to plasma polarization shifts according to the linearized Debye model. A nonlinear Debye-type model is consistent with the measurements.
