Review of the advanced generalized theory for Stark broadening of hydrogen lines in plasmas with tables

However, even for the L-alpha line at, e.g., densities 10(17) cm(-3) - where the experimental width is a factor of two greater than the calculated KG width and the entire difference between the two widths was usually attributed to the ion dynamics - it turns out that the AGT eliminates about one half of this discrepancy indicating that the ion-dynamical contribution is in reality about a factor of two smaller than it was previously assumed.
