Conclusions
A new description of NLTE statistics of a highly-charged ion plasma has been presented. Two-electron correlations are evaluated by taking into account the “diffusion” of the time-dependent solution of the master equation around the center of mass of the distribution. This method has been tested by calculating the variance of the ionization in a NLTE stationary situation.
