Abstract.
Formalism and numerical code have been elaborated for calculation of hydrogen line profiles in conditions of plasma in which Stark broadening and fine energy splitting are comparable and it is not possible to neglect either of them. It corresponds to the range of electron densities \(10^{11} < N_e ({\rm cm}^{-3}) < 10^{15}\). Lamb shift and spontaneous emission effects have also been included. Computer simulation method was applied in the calculations. Final results have been compared with experimental and theoretical findings by other authors.
