| Abstract: | A second-order, quantum-mechanical relaxation theory of spectral line broadening in plasmas that uses a full Coulomb potential to describe the radiator-perturbing electron interactions is presented. A Fourier representation of the interaction is used rather than a multipole expansion. The results for the Lyman-alpha transition in hydrogen are compared with experimental data and with a corresponding relaxation theory computation that uses a dipole approximation. |
