Download or read book Spectral Line Shapes - Volume 8 - 12th ICSLS written by A. David May and published by American Institute of Physics. This book was released on 2000-04-14 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Includes full texts of about a dozen of the 25 invited papers and two-page abstracts of all 80 contributed papers. The emphasis is on the physical processes associated with the formation of spectral lines as observed in absorption and scattering of radiation by plasmas and neutral gases, though some papers consider related aspects. The sections cover special and general results of low-density plasmas, high to ultrahigh density plasmas, collision induced spectra, selective reflection and other line shapes, line mixing and far wing line shapes, broadening and shifting in neutrals and ions, excimers, and ultracold atoms.
