Abstract

We calculated Stark-broadened absorption line profiles for n = 1 to n = 2 inner-shell transitions in the L-shell ions of Ar for electron number densities between 5 × 1023 cm-3 and 5 × 1024 cm-3 and for temperatures in the range 100–600 eV. These line profiles are used to calculate the frequency-dependent optical depth of hot, dense Ar plasmas. We also investigated the possibility of using Stark-broadened absorption line profiles for diagnostic applications.
