Abstract
We report results of a study of the Stark broadening of halogen atom lines from (1 D)n p levels. Wall stabilized arc is used as a plasma source. Electron densities 2.2–3.2×1022 m−3 are determined from the width ofH α line and electron temperature 9300–10000 K from plasma composition data. The agreement with the results of simple semiclassical calculations is within the limits of the estimated errors of both experiment and theory. An explanation for the large discrepancy between theory and experiment detected for three BrI lines is offered.
