Abstract
The broadening and shift of the first two Lines of the Paschen series of hydrogen have been investigated both experimentally and theoretical ly. The application of an earlier developed Green's-function approach predicts a nonlinear behavior of the shift of the Paschen a line that is confirmed by the observations. The experiments have been carried ou t applying a wall-stabilized are running in neon or argon seeded with hydrogen. The electron density range covered by the experiments is 0.5 x 10(16) cm(-3) to 25 x 10(16) cm(-3).
