Spectral Line Shapes

Volume 4

Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Spectral Line Shapes, The College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, June 1986.


Edited by

Emphasis was given to the physical processes giving rise to spectral line profiles seen in adsorption, emission, and the scattering of radiation by plasmas and neutral gases. Also included are papers concerned with the coupling of collisional and radiative processes.

Line profiles are used in the study of fundamental atomic and molecular interactions and as a diagnostic tool for many media (gas discharges, flames, plasmas and astrophysical objects.) With tunable, high resolution lasers, fundamental spectroscopy and new diagnostic techniques have assumed forefront interest.
