Theoretical Calculations of H2O Linewidths and Pressure Shifts: Comparison of Anderson Theory with Quantum Many-Body Theory for N2 and Air Broadened Lines,
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to make specific comparisons of two theoretical methods with available experimental measurements of H2O widths and shifts for the case of N2 (or air) broadening. The earliest calculations of H2O-n2 half widths were carried out by Benedict and Kaplan (BK) using the Anderson-Tsao-Curnutte (ATC) theory of pressure broadening. Considering that only one accurate measurement was available at the time their work was carried out, the theoretical results, with one notable exception, have stood up remarkably well.
