Abstract
The discrepancy between theory and experiment reported by Grutzmacher and Wende (see Phys. Rev. A., vol.16, p.243 (1977)) for the central region of the profile of the hydrogen n=2 to n=1 transition is explained. A calculation shows that the mechanism causing the observed additional broadening are the ion dynamic contributions to the profile.Keywords
