Abstract

The ability to accurately model plasmas with the collisional-radiative approach typically depends on a number of factors. For example, the number of bound electrons per ion and the particular quantities to be modeled are two key determinants. When the dominant ion stages of a plasma contain only a few electrons per ion, it is possible to construct models in full fine-structure detail. The underlying list of configurations can be chosen to be sufficiently complete such that all quantities of interest, ranging from aggregate quantities such as the mean ion charge to detailed spectroscopic quantities such as the emission spectrum, can be calculated in a converged manner. For plasmas composed of more complex ions, it is often necessary to construct atomic models using an averaged scheme, such as the average-atom or configuration-average methods. In this case, quantities such as the mean ion charge and radiative power loss may still be accurately determined, but obtaining spectroscopically accurate line features can be computationally challenging or intractable. In this work, we use the Los Alamos suite of codes to illustrate some of the concepts associated with large-scale collisional-radiative modeling. Emphasis is placed on the use of fine-structure and configuration-average models with a significant level of detail in order to generate plasma quantities in an ab-initio, self-consistent fashion, with as little approximation as possible. This approach can be used as a benchmark for comparison with less detailed models or for comparison with experimental data.

Notes

  1. 1.

    We note the use of the word “states”, rather than “levels”, in the previous paragraph. We employ “states” in this work as a generic term, which could refer to well-defined concepts such as configurations or fine-structure levels, or some sort of averaged quantity. The word “levels” is reserved for fine-structure levels in this work.
