Abstract
Self-broadening and self-shift of lines of the inversion spectrum of ammonia in the ground vibrational state are calculated by the semi-classical theory of collisions in the two-state approximation for the infinite interaction energy of colliding molecules. The results obtained are close to the experimentally measured values and differ significantly from the results of calculations by the same theory taking into consideration terms of the second order in perturbation theory presented in [3, 4].
