Collisional-radiative data for tokamak disruption mitigation modeling

Prashant Sharma, Christopher J. Fontes, Dmitry V. Fursa +6

Effective tokamak disruption mitigation is crucial for ensuring the safety and integrity of fusion power reactors. Accurate collisional-radiative (CR) modeling of a radiative plasm…

Hybrid collisional-radiative modeling for high-fidelity atomic kinetics

Prashant Sharma, Christopher J. Fontes, Mark Zammit +3

The fidelity of collisional-radiative (CR) models is critical for advancing our understanding of radiative properties and ionization balance in fusion plasmas. In this work, we pre…

The Future of Solar modelling: requirements for a new generation of solar models

Gael Buldgen, Gloria. Canocchi, Arthur. Le Saux +22

Helioseismology and solar modelling have enjoyed a golden era thanks to decades-long surveys from ground-based networks such as for example GONG, BiSON, IRIS and the SOHO and SDO s…

An Expanded Set of Los Alamos OPLIB Tables in MESA: Type-1 Rosseland-mean Opacities and Solar Models

Ebraheem Farag, Christopher J. Fontes, F. X. Timmes +11

We present a set of 1194 Type-1 Rosseland-mean opacity tables for four different metallicity mixtures. These new Los Alamos OPLIB atomic radiative opacity tables are an order of ma…

Impact of a minority relativistic electron tail interacting with a thermal plasma containing high-atomic-number impurities

Nathan A. Garland, Hyun-Kyung Chung, Christopher J. Fontes +6

A minority relativistic electron component can arise in both laboratory and naturally-occurring plasmas. In the presence of high-atomic-number ion species, the ion charge state dis…

Seismic inversion of the solar entropy: A case for improving the Standard Solar Model

G. Buldgen, S. J. A. J. Salmon, A. Noels +9

The Sun is the most constrained and well-studied of all stars. As a consequence, the physical ingredients entering solar models are used as a reference to study all other stars obs…
