Path integral approach to Stark-broadening of Lyman lines from hydrogen plasmas — •Nacira Bedida, Heidi Reinholz, and Gerd Röpke — University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany

New results for Lyman lines from hydrogen plasmas are presented using the path integral method. Within the path integral approach [1], the time dependent dipole autocorrelation function is obtained in terms of Feynman propagators. Knowing the propagator in comparison to the unperturbed emitter, it is possible to develop a perturbative series. Finally, we obtain a compact formula for the intensity of Lyman lines taking an appropriate ionic micro-field distribution. Good agreement with results obtained within a quantum statistical approach to line profiles [2,3] is found, in particular at high densities and temperatures.
