Description:
    Using a semiclassical approach, we have calculated electron-, proton-,
    Mg II-, Si II-, Fe II-, and Ar II- impact line widths and shifts for
    267 Mg I multiplets, in order to provide the needed Stark broadening
    parameters for all important perturbers for investigation of Solar and
    laboratory plasma. An analysis of Solar Rydberg lines in the far
    infrared spectrum has been performed as well.

Note (2): FWHM denotes Full Width at Half Maximum
Note (3): A positive (resp. negative) shift is towards the red (resp. blue)
Note (4): An asterisk in this column indicates that 0.1 < N.V < 0.5,
          (V = collision volume); beware of the fact that the limit of validity
          of the impact approximation  is attained for the value that follows
Note (5): Values for N.V > 0.5 are not given, because in this case the impact
          approximation is no longer valid
