Abstract

Experimental profiles of the hydrogen Paschen-beta line have been measured in a helium plasma with 0.85% hydrogen. Electron densities were deduced from profiles of the He(I) line (λ = 4471.5 Å) and are in the range 10¹⁴–10¹⁵ cm^-3. Our measurements are compared with theoretical calculations.
