This book is devoted to the calculation of hot-plasma properties
which generally requires a huge number of atomic data. It is the
first book that combines information on the details of the basic
atomic physics and its application to atomic spectroscopy with the
use of the relevant statistical approaches. Information like energy
levels, radiative rates, collisional and radiative cross-sections,
etc., must be included in equilibrium or non-equilibrium models in
order to describe both the atomic-population kinetics and the
radiative properties. From the very large number of levels and
transitions involved in complex ions, some statistical (global)
properties emerge. The book presents a coherent set of concepts and
compact formulas suitable for tractable and accurate calculations.
The topics addressed are: radiative emission and absorption, and a
dozen of other collisional and radiative processes; transition
arrays between level ensembles (configurations,
superconfigurations); effective temperatures of configurations,
superconfigurations, and ions; charge-state distributions;
radiative power losses and opacity. There are many numerical
examples and comparisons with experiment presented throughout the
book. The plasma properties described in this book are especially
relevant to large nuclear fusion facilities such as the NIF
(California) and the ITER (France), and to astrophysics. Methods
relevant to the central-field configurational model are described
in detail in the appendices: tensor-operator techniques,
second-quantization formalism, statistical distribution moments,
and the algebra of partition functions. Some extra tools are
propensity laws, correlations, and fractals. These methods are
applied to the analytical derivation of many properties, specially
the global ones, through which the complexity is much reduced. The
book is intended for graduate-level students, and for physicists
working in the field.
