Plasmas comprise more than 99% of the observable universe. They are important in many
technologies and are key potential sources for fusion power. Atomic and radiation physics is …

K shell X-ray emission measurements have been used to diagnose plasma conditions in
short-pulse heated buried microdot targets on the Orion high power laser. These …

In this work, we propose a unified model to evaluate processes of electronic interactions of
charged particles with hot and dense matter, including energy losses, mean free paths, and …

An instrument has been developed to measure the optimal phase-matching angle of large-
aperture potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystal. KDP crystal in the frequency …

X-ray emission spectroscopy has been used to study hot dense plasmas produced using
high power laser irradiation of dot samples buried in low Z foils of plastic or diamond. By …

Finding the optimal phase matching angle of a potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP)
crystal is vital for increasing the harmonic conversion efficiency, which plays a key role in …

The knowledge of the radiative properties of hot plasmas is crucial when we study the
absorption in the ablator of ICF capsules. For this purpose, we developed a new code that …

Experiments have been performed in which fs-timescale laser pulses, focused to an
intensity∼ 1016 W cm− 2, are able to directly create and interact with solid density plasma …

The opacity is an important issue in the knowledge of the radiative properties of ICF and
astrophysical plasmas. We present the opacity of dopants (silicon, germanium) embedded in …

Calculations of the opacity of hot, dense matter require models for plasma line broadening.
However, the most general theories are too complex to calculate directly and some …
