Electron-impact ionization of Si IV-VIII relevant for inertial confinement fusion
Jean-Christophe Pain, Djamel Benredjem
In this work, we investigate the ionization of silicon by electron impacts in hot plasmas. Our calculations of the cross sections and rates rely on the Coulomb-Born-Exchange, Binar…
Average-atom approach for transport properties of shocked argon in the presence of a magnetic field
Nadine Wetta, Jean-Christophe Pain
We present electron transport calculations of shocked argon based on an average-atom modeling of the plasma, and compare them with measurements, involving both incident and reflect…
Benford's law in atomic spectra and opacity databases
Jean-Christophe Pain, Yuri Ralchenko
The intriguing law of anomalous numbers, also named Benford's law, states that the significant digits of data follow a logarithmic distribution favoring the smallest values. In thi…
Semi-empirical cross-section formulas for electron-impact ionization and rate coefficient calculations
Djamel Benredjem, Jean-Christophe Pain
We propose a semi-empirical formula for the cross section of ionization by electron impact. The formula involves adjustable parameters which are determined by comparison with measu…
