A simplified approach to line broadening in dense plasmas
Abstract
A simplified approach is presented for the analysis of broadening and shift of emission lines in hot dense plasmas. The basic approximation which allows this simplified approach is the factorization of the wavefunction for the many-body problem into the wavefunction for the plasma particles, and the wavefunction which describes the internal degrees of freedom.
