Description:
    Computer simulation techniques have been used to calculate the Stark
    broadening profiles of the hydrogen dipolar Lyman-{alpha} transition
    and of two-photon absorption, dispersion and polarization profiles in
    the 1S->2S transition.
    The calculations have considered electron densities in the range
    between 4.64*10^19^(m^-3^) and 1*10^23^(m^-3^), and temperatures in
    the range between 2000 and 100000K.
    The fine structure of level n=2 has been taken into account in the
    calculations.
    Four different sets of tables are given. The two first sets are the
    tables of the autocorrelation function for the dipolar moment of the
    emitter and for the operator that gives the transition amplitude for a
    two-photon absorption between the 1S and the 2S levels. This tables
    have the names rXXnYYYY.c1p and rXXnYYYY.c2p. The .c1p and .c2p
    extensions stands for 1 photon dipolar moment and for two-photon
    absorption transition amplitude. XX is 100*{rho}, {rho} being the
    quotient between the mean distance between particles and the Debye
    radius for the conditions of the plasma for which the profiles where
    calculated. YYYY is 100*Log(Ne), Ne being the electron density (m^-3^)
    of the plasma considered.
    The last two sets of tables correspond to the 1 photon Lyman-{alpha}
    profiles (rXXnYYYY.d1p) and to two-photon polarization profiles
    (rXXnYYYY.p2p).
    In each file the results obtained considering perturbers of different
    reduced masses ({mu}) are tabulated in different columns.
    The caption of each file contains the conditions of electron density
    and plasma temperature for which the calculation was made.
