“…So far, this formalism has been applied only to very few systems and was recently revived by Thibault et al for molecular hydrogen lines in a helium bath. The great interest of this formalism is that the spectral line shape function (see also Equation 12 of Thibault et al can be written in a quite simple analytical form, equivalent to a hard‐collision profile, with parameters that can be exactly derived from complex generalized spectroscopic cross sections that share the same formal structure. These cross sections, expressed in terms of CC scattering matrices elements, read: …”
