Experimental measurements of shifts and asymmetries of He II Pαand Pβspectral lines

Red shifts and asymmetries of He II Pα 468.5682 nm and Pβ 320.3104 nm lines were measured in a pulsed plasma at an electron density measured by two-wavelength interferometry which ranges from 5.54 × 10 22 m −3 to 7.48 × 10 22 m −3 with uncertainty of 10%. Temperature ranges from 1.70 to 1.83 eV, and has been determined from intensities ratio of Pα and Pβ lines. Shifts for these lines were obtained using as reference lines Cd I 467.8149 nm and He I 318.7745 nm respectively. Measurements of asymmetries have been represented using reduced wavelength units. All results have been compared with previous experimental and theoretical data.
