Abstract
A systematic study of experimental Stark widths of 3s-3p and 3p-3d tra nsitions in N III-Ne VI measured in a plasma produced by the gas-liner pinch device is reported. The scaling of measured Stark widths with t he spectroscopic charge number Z (Z = 3 for N III, etc) shows apprecia ble deviations from that predicted by some theoretical calculations in the electron-impact approximation A strong indication is found that p roton collisions influence the linewidth of the 2s2p3s P-4(o)-2s2p3p 4 D transition in Ne VI in a significant way.
