Radiation cooling power and ionization equilibrium of an optically transparent stationary neon plasma
Abstract
An approximate hydrogen-like model is proposed for calculating the average ion charge and the radiation energy losses of an optically transparent plasma for the case of stationary population of the ion energy levels. The model is valid for the electron density and temperature range in which neon-, fluorine-, and hydrogen-like ions and bare nuclei are present in the plasma. Numerical calculations are carried out for neon in the electron density and temperature ranges 10 to the 13th - 10 to the 24th per cu cm and 10 to the 4th - 10 to the 8th K, respectively.
