Notes. Influence of ion dynamics. Ne is the electron density written in 1022m-3, Te is the electron temperature, Tg the temperature of the gas – both in K – and μ is the reduced mass of the emitter-perturber pair (in units of proton mass). The data from FWHM are expressed in nm. The last column reproduces the simulation result for a plasma with μ = 2.
