Systematic red shifts for the Paschen ot, (3, and y lines (n = 4,5, 6~*n = 3) of Hen are observed over an electron density range of (1-8) x lo 22 m" 3 . The measurements are compared with combined estimates for plasma polarization and ion quadrupole effects. It is demonstrated that previous theoretical estimates have left out an important contribution to the polarization shift, which we estimate using the Debye model.
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.
