Descripción
The He I triplet at 10830 Å has a great potential for determining the magnetic field vector in the upper chromosphere. The triplet is Zeeman sensitive (Landé factors 2.0, 1.75 and 1.25) and shows the signature of the Hanle effect under appropriate conditions. Additionally, the Zeeman sublevels are influenced by the Paschen-Back effect leading to changes in strength and in position of the Zeeman components of the transitions forming the triplet. In this work we calculate the influence of the Paschen-Back effect on the Stokes profiles and investigate its relevance to inversions on spectro-polarimetric data obtained with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter (TIP) at the German Vacuum Tower Telescope (VTT).
