Laser-induced fluorescence study of collision-time asymmetry and speed-dependent effects on the Cd-114 326.1-nm line perturbed by Xe - art. no. 032511

Using a laser-induced fluorescence method detailed analysis of profiles of the Cd-114 326.1-nm line perturbed by xenon was performed, which revealed d epartures from the ordinary Voigt profile. These departures are shown to be consistent with fits of experimental profiles to a speed-dependent asymmet ric Voigt profile. Coefficients of the pressure broadening, shift, and coll ision-time asymmetry are determined and compared with those calculated in t he adiabatic approximation for the Czuchaj-Stoll potentials.
