Plasma Atomic Physics provides an overview of the elementary
processes within atoms and ions in plasmas, and introduces readers
to the language of atomic spectra and light emission, allowing them
to explore the various and fascinating radiative properties of
matter. The book familiarizes readers with the complex
quantum-mechanical descriptions of electromagnetic and collisional
processes, while also developing a number of effective qualitative
models that will allow them to obtain adequately comprehensive
descriptions of collisional-radiative processes in dense plasmas,
dielectronic satellite emissions and autoionizing states, hollow
ion X-ray emissions, polarized atoms and ions, hot electrons,
charge exchange, atomic population kinetics, and radiation
transport. Numerous applications to plasma spectroscopy and
experimental data are presented, which concern magnetic confinement
fusion, inertial fusion, laser-produced plasmas, and X-ray
free-electron lasers' interaction with matter. Particular
highlights include the development of quantum kinetics to a level
surpassing the almost exclusively used quasi-classical approach in
atomic population kinetics, the introduction of the recently
developed Quantum-F-Matrix-Theory (QFMT) to study the impact of
plasma microfields on atomic populations, and the Enrico Fermi
equivalent photon method to develop the "Plasma Atom", where the
response properties and oscillator strength distribution are
represented with the help of a local plasma frequency of the atomic
electron density. Based on courses held by the authors, this
material will assist students and scientists studying the complex
processes within atoms and ions in different kinds of plasmas by
developing relatively simple but highly effective models.
Considerable attention is paid to a number of qualitative models
that deliver physical transparency, while extensive tables and
formulas promote the practical and useful application of complex
theories and provide effective tools for non-specialist readers.
