The variation of the principal characteristics of the mercury visible triplet self-reversed lines is studied as a function of radial and temporal profiles of the temperature and of the species densities in high pressure mercury discharges (∼2 and ∼3 atm) operating on 50 Hz ac. An investigation is made into the effect of different theoretical and experimental parameters on the shape of calculated self-reversed lines. By comparison between experimental and theoretical results an estimation is made of the broadening constants and of the transition probabilities of the lines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
