Abstract:
The averaged energy difference method has been applied to calculate the broadening coefficients of rotation vibration water vapor lines induced by helium pressure. The calculations have been performed for a wide range of rotational quantum numbers (the averaged energy difference method have been applied for $J$ from 0 to 20, interpolation of the $J$-dependence have been used for $J$ from 20 to 50) in the spectral range from 500 to 10000 cm$^{-1}$. We compared the calculated H$_2$O–He line broadening coefficients with the literature data, and a good agreement have been obtained. The temperature dependence for linewidths are calculated.
Keywords:Line broadening, intermolecular interaction, averaged energy difference method, temperature exponent.
