Abstract
In this paper general expressions for the width and shift of atomic lines produced by fast electron collisions are obtained. We use the recent quantum-mechanical theories developed to explain the pressure line shape in the impact approximation. Only isolated and Lorentzian lines are analyzed. The calculations are performed by expanding the scattering matrix up to the second Born approximation. The contributions of both elastic and inelastic virtual collisions are calculated. Degenerate and nondegenerate atomic states are considered.Keywords
