Los Alamos opacities: Transition from LEDCOP to ATOMIC
NH Magee, J Abdallah, J Colgan, P Hakel… - AIP Conference …, 2004 - pubs.aip.org
This paper discusses the development of the ATOMIC code, a new low to mid Z opacity
code, which will replace the current Los Alamos low Z opacity code LEDCOP. The ATOMIC
code is based on the FINE code, long used by the Los Alamos group for spectral
comparisons in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and for non‐LTE calculations,
utilizing the extensive databases from the atomic physics suite of codes based on the work
of RD Cowan. Many of the plasma physics packages in LEDCOP, such as line broadening …
