Dj. Heading et al., SIMULATIONS OF SPECTRA FROM DENSE ALUMINUM PLASMAS, Journal of quantitative spectroscopy & radiative transfer, 54(1-2), 1995, pp. 167-180
We describe a computer code used to predict spectra arising from neutr
al and near neutral species in a dense, cool plasma. The ionization po
tential depression and excited states of the plasma ions must be inclu
ded to obtain the correct ionization balance. Good agreement between t
he code predictions and observed spectra is obtained. This provides a
verification of the code prediction so that it could be used for plasm
a diagnostics.
