Abstract
Lines of the principal series of lithium appeared in absorption when lithium wires were exploded with high enough energy. Their Stark widths in a time-integrated spectrogram give an estimate of the electron concentration averaged in time. The closer the line is to its series limit, the smaller the value of electron concentration which it is found to give and thus, the further away from the axis it is absorbed. This result is explained by the merger of the high series members which, like the electron concentration, varies along the radius. A method for determining this variation is described, and the results are shown to compare favorably with those of other measurements.
