Comment on "Highly nonlinear, sign-varying shift of hydrogen spectral lines in dense plasmas".
The shift of hydrogen and hydrogenlike spectral lines in dense plasmas, calculated with the full computer simulation method, in nonquenching, classical path, dipole approximation for plasma-emitter interaction, is equal to zero. In the paper commented on, Escarguel et al., Phys. Rev. E 62, 2667 (2000) the electron concentrations N(e) and the corresponding temperature values T are shown to have been determined incorrectly.
