Abstract
A new method for the determination of neutral densities and the electr on lifetime from X-ray line spectra through charge exchange processes is proposed. The non-equilibrium population of neutrals and the charge exchange from their excited states in plasma regimes of high density and temperature have been calculated in a self-consistent manner throu gh the introduction of an ''effective diffusion rate''.
