I’m uploading a document that sets out in detail all the theory I’ve used/developed to model thermal equilibrium spectral line profiles. I would like to know if equation 6.32, for photon capture cross section, is correct and if it is correct is it known? If it’s not correct where is the mistake in the derivation and if it is correct and unknown can I claim it as the “Whight relation”!
