Abstract

Abstract The influence of ion motion on Stark broadened hydrogen lines is studied using the Method of Model Microfields which allows a uniform unified treatment of electrons and ions. Contrary to former theoretical investigations, strong effects are found in the line centres of L-α, H-α, and H-β which agree well with recent experimental findings, especially those of Wiese, Kelleher, and Helbig.
