Abstract
A model for the Stark broadening of ions in a high-density plasma crea ted by laser has been developed by taking account of the full effect o f a two-component plasma. One of the objectives of the work was to inc lude the effect of ion dynamics in an efficient way. This has been ach ieved by using a stochastic process for mixing the different component s that constitute a line profile. With the systematic use of fast algo rithms, a code has been developed with the ability of treating complex atomic structures.
