Abstract

Thermally induced Stark shifts and line broadening of highly excited atomic hydrogen levels are investigated. Numerical calculations aimed at using the results in current and planned precision measurements of transition frequencies in the hydrogen atom are performed for ns/nd states (n is the principal quantum number). The results are obtained for the cryogenic temperature and a wide range of values including the room temperature. It is found that accurate numerical calculations of the thermal Stark effect for states with principal quantum number n ≥ 8 with account for the Lamb shift and the fine structure reveal considerable deviation from the values obtained earlier using approximate methods. The reported results can be used for analyzing the results of the modern precision experiments and for refining the fundamental constants (in particular, the Rydberg constant and the proton charge radius).
