Theoretical and Experimental Studies of Line Broadening in Plasmas for Lighting

谱线展宽在高压、工业上重要的照明等离子体中起着重要的作用。 在这个GOALI项目中，史密森天体物理天文台和欧司朗西尔瓦尼亚公司将对钠相关等离子体中的谱线展宽进行联合实验/理论研究。 这些研究不仅影响我们对商业上重要的照明光源的理解，而且还需要对辐射传输很重要的其他等离子体过程进行建模。 该项目由数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室和NSF物理部共同支持。

Line broadening plays an important role in high- pressure, industrially important lighting plasmas. In this GOALI project a joint experimental/theoretical study of line broadening in sodium related plasmas will be conducted between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and OSRAM Sylvania Inc. These studies not only impact our understanding of commercially important lighting sources but are also needed to model other plasma processes where radiative transport is important. This project is jointly supported by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences and the Division of Physics at the NSF.
