D'yakov-Kontorovitch instability of shock waves in hot plasmas
Nadine Wetta, Jean-Christophe Pain, Olivier Heuzé
The D'yakov-Kontorovich stability criterion for spontaneous emission of acoustic waves behind shock fronts is investigated for high-temperature carbon, aluminum, silicon and niobiu…
Comment on electron-impact excitation cross-section measurements for He-like Xenon
Jean-Christophe Pain, Maxime Comet, Christopher J Fontes
We discuss lower-than-predicted collisional-excitation cross-sections for helium-like xenon measured at an Electron Beam Ion Trap facility. In a review paper (H. Chen and P. Beiers…
Number of spin-J states and odd-even staggering for identical particles in a single-j shell
Jean-Christophe Pain
In this work, new recursion relations for the number of spin-J states for identical particles in a single-j shell are presented. Such relations are obtained using the generating-fu…
Detailed Opacity Calculations for Stellar Models
Jean-Christophe Pain, Franck Gilleron, Maxime Comet
Radiative opacity is an important quantity in the modeling of stellar structure and evolution. In the present work we recall the role of opacity in the interpretation of pulsations…
Recursive determination of phase shifts for screened Coulomb potentials
Jean-Christophe Pain
In the calculation of hot-plasma atomic structure, the continuum wavefunctions are characterized by phase shifts, which therefore determine the scattering cross-sections. In this s…
On the vacuum-polarization Uehling potential for a Fermi charge distribution
Jean-Christophe Pain
We present analytical formulas for the vacuum-polarization Uehling potential in the case where the finite size of the nucleus is modeled by a Fermi charge distribution. Using a Som…
