OSTI ID:5448915
A brief review is given of the quantum statistical theory of strongly coupled many component reacting plasmas. It is shown that three distinct renormalizations of the many component activity series are required to obtain an expansion, which can properly handle strongly coupled reacting plasmas, for all states of ionization when Z > 1. Compensation between bound and scattering state contributions to the partition function is shown to be an important consideration and leads automatically to a convergent internal partition function.
