Abstract

The width and the profile of the strongest line in the visible spectrum of hydrogenlike carbon broadened by electric fields from ions and electrons are calculated for plasmas with electron densities from ${10}^{17}$ to ${10}^{19}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ and temperatures near 100 eV. Most of the broadening is due to ion-produced fields whose effect is evaluated with the use of the quasistatic approximation. The electron broadening both from elastic and inelastic collisions is calculated with the use of the impact approximation. Corrections for dynamical Stark effects due to relative ion-ion motion are also discussed.
