Abstract

The splitting of spectral lines in a magnetic field is considered in this paper. approximations of weak and strong magnetic field and quantum mechanical analysis in the case of any field are reviewed. Transitions 2P3/2,1/22S1/2 and 2D5/2,3/2 – 2P3/2,1/2 are considered in detail. The results of calculations of bright line splitting in the plasma of the GOL-3 facility and comparison of the calculated line profiles with experimental data are presented.
