A Computational/Spectroscopic Study of a Newly Derived General Unified Theory of Spectral Line Shapes to Measure HWHM's for an Ar-perturber/K-radiator system, Using Two 7s←4p Transitions, as Applied to the Line Core

In a recent publication, a new unified theory of spectral line shapes was derived, which allowed for the variation of the electric dipole moment with perturber positions. The present author put the () gs term derived from the theory into a computable form, and constructed spectral line shapes from which line-core HWHM's ( ) wswere measured. These w 's were compared with experimental Fabry-Perot-interferometric results. Typically, for 2 V ∆ and T=1000 K, the percent difference between . exptl w and . compt w is ≈ 22% . () ( )
