The broadening and shifting of the {ital Q} branch of H{sub 2} diluted in N{sub 2} are studied at temperatures between 300 and 1200 K. (i) In order to account for the observed anomalies (asymmetric profiles and nonlinearity of the linewidth versus perturber concentration), the results are interpreted using a speed-dependent model in its general form. This model introduces the speed dependence of the shift and the broadening. In contrast with the previous H{sub 2}{endash}rare-gas studies, the high-temperature measurements prove the necessity to include speed-dependent broadening that was ignored in the previous studies. (ii) Concomitantly, we report as well pure H{sub 2} results including Ra…
