Abstract
Effective emission and ionization rate coefficients of carbon atoms taking into account the density effects in plasmas are studied using a collisional radiative model including 31 sub-levels up to the principal quantum number n = 4. Atomic processes such as electron impact ionization, excitation, de-excitation and spontaneous emission, which are the dominant processes for carbon atoms generated from the wall material in fusion devices, are considered in our calculations. In a relatively high density plasma with electron density above 10{sup 13} cm{sup -3}, the effective ionization rate coefficient increases about by a factor of four compared with that in a low density plasma at low temperatures of {approx} 10 eV because of the increase of ionization from the excited states. Effective emission rate coefficients for several lines, which are useful for plasma diagnostics, are also presented. (author).
