Description

A new method for calculating broadening of the Hα line profile in a high-temperature plasma is proposed. Using the new program H-ALPHA, one can calculate the Hα line profile with an error smaller than 3% in a wide range of electron temperatures and densities (Te = 1-500 eV, ne =1014-1017 cm-3). On the basis of these calculations, a method for the measurement of plasma temperature and density from the experimental Hα line profile is developed. The experimental tests of the method showed a good agreement with the diamagnetic measurements
