Stark Broadening of Several Ar I Spectral Lines in the Visible Spectrum

Abstract

In order to complete data on Stark broadening parameters for Ar I line in the visible spectrum, we determined Stark widths and shifts due to electron, proton and ionized helium impacts for nine lines (4191.0, 4259.4, 5912.1, 6043.2, 6045.0, 6752.9, 7503.9, 7514.6, 7724.2 Å), using jK coupling and semiclassical perturbation theory. The obtained results will enter the STARK-B database, which is a part of the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center.
