Atomic spectral line free parameter deconvolution procedure - art. no. 036404

We report an advanced numerical procedure for deconvolution of theoretical asymmetric convolution integral of a Gaussian and a plasma broadened spectr al line profile j(A,R)(lambda) for spectal lines. Our method determines all broadening parameters, self-consistently and directly from the line profil e with minimal assumptions or prior knowledge. This method is useful for ob taining complete information on all plasma parameters directly from the rec orded shape of a single line, which is very important in case no other diag nostic methods are available. The method is also convenient for determinati on of plasma parameters in the case of a symmetrical profile such as Voigt one.
