✦ Synopsis

Recently a theoretical formalism and computer code were developed suitable for computing the Stark broadening of X-ray line transitions in highly ionized multielectron ions immersed in hot, dense plasmas. This problem can be formulated in terms of time-dependent autocorrelation functions. In this paper we present and discuss the formulation, computational techniques and algorithms used in the implementation of the theory into a computer code. We also present some examples of our results.
