Profile of the Lyman αline in the presence of an argon plasma

Abstract
The positions of the two satellites exhibited by the Lyman alpha line of hydrogen in the presence of an argon plasma have been determined in the frame of the quasi-static theory by means of an ab initio potential. One of the satellites appears to be due to a minimum in the potential of the levels arising in the (Ar+(3p5)+H(n=2)) configuration and the other satellite to an avoided crossing between these levels and the levels of the (Ar(3p54s)+H+) configuration.
