Equivalence of the method of the kinetic equation and the fluctuating-frequency method in the theory of the broadening of spectral lines
Résumé
A new expression for the Stark profiles of spectral lines in plasma has been obtained by the method of the kinetic equation taking into account the dynamics of the plasma microfield. The result represents a dynamic line profile in the form of simple functionals of a static profile. The relation of the new solution with the known fluctuatingﰀfrequency method has been analyzed. It has been shown that this method is a discrete analog of the method of the kinetic equation and passes to the latter method in the limit of the continuous fluctuations. Simple formulas (4), (5), and (21) for dynamic line profiles provide ultrafast calculations of the profiles of spectral lines taking into account the dynamics of the plasma microfield.
