LINE MIXING EFFECTS IN THE 00(0)3-00(0)0-BAND OF CO2 IN HELIUM .3. ENERGY CORRECTED SUDDEN SIMULTANEOUS FIT OF LINEWIDTHS AND NEAR WING PROFILE

Line coupling induced by collisions leads to drastic modifications of the spectral profile of the 00(0)3-00(0)0 of CO2 pressurized by helium . Calculation of these modifications have been performed by using two recent energy corrected sudden (ECS) formalisms. The two formulations lead to theoretical predictions rather similar and in good agreement w ith the available data over extended ranges of frequency and perturber pressure. It has been shown that a simultaneous fit of the pressure b roadened linewidths and the near wing profile allows a more accurate d etermination of the basic ECS parameters. For that purpose, it has bee n necessary to extend the measurement of the broadened widths to high J values (up to J approximate to 90).
