Line mixing effects have been studied in the 
band of 
perturbed by
helium. Theoretical absorption coefficients are compared to FTIR
measurements, which were made at room temperature for helium pressure
from 1 atm up to 90 atm. The observed strong modifications with respect
to additive Lorentzian contributions are explained by line coupling
effects. The Infinite Order Sudden Approximation and the Energy Corrected
Sudden Approximation are used in order to account for these effects. The
latter gives better agreement: it rather successfully predicts the band
shape and the linewidths.
