title: Measurements of Hbeta Stark central asymmetry and its analysis through standard theory and computer simulations.
abstract: Experimental measurements of the center of the H_{beta} Stark profile on three different installations have been done to study its asymmetry in wide ranges of electron density, temperature, and plasma conditions. Theoretical calculations for the analysis of experimental results have been performed using the standard theory and computer simulations and included separately quadrupolar and quadratic Stark effects. Earlier experimental results and theoretical calculations of other authors have been reviewed as well. The experimental results are well reproduced by the calculations at high and moderate densities.
