Stark profiles modeling of radiation lines originating from atomic autoionizing states in dense plasmas, solid state matter under short intense XUV/X-ray free electron laser irradiation

Abstract

In the present paper we propose to update the standard calculation of Stark line profiles for autoionizing atomic states in dense plasmas, i.e. warm dense matter and strongly coupled plasmas. This is motivated by the importance of taking into account the effect of the electric microfield generated by the plasma charge constituents in the calculation of the atomic populations of autoionizing states which leads to the modification of the calculation of Stark line profiles in the frame of the standard theory. This is due to the properties of the autoionizing atomic states that are far from Boltzmann distribution even in dense plasmas bringing serious doubts on the statistical approach used in the standard theory of Stark profile calculations. We discuss the importance of the present analysis in view of the radiation emission originating from dense plasmas created by the interaction of the X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFEL's) with solid density matter.
