The measurements were carried out in a small compressing plasma channel device,reaching electron densities in excess of 1018 cm−3 and temperatures of a few eV. The experimentaldata are in a good agreement with some previously published studies. However, the measuredrelation between the Stark shift and width could not be reproduced by either of the codes, andthis disagreement is not yet resolved. This suggests the existence of an additional effect that is notaccounted for in the present models and leads to a larger than expected Stark shift of the He II Pα line.
