Radiation of hot atomic hydrogen

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5508190

A nonlinear collisional-radiative model for the determination of nonequilibrium production of electrons, ions, excited atoms, and spectral and continuum line intensities in stationary partially-ionized atomic hydrogen is presented. Transport of radiation is included by coupling the rate equations for production of the electrons and excited atoms with the radiation escape factors which are not constant but depend on plasma conditions. 48 refs.
