Abstract
The discrepancies between theoretical and experimental opacities reported by experiments performed at the Sandia National Laboratory Z-pinch relevant to the solar interior remain unexplained. The suggestion that two-photon ionization could help resolve the discrepancies was recently examined and found not to account for the higher than predicted measured opacities. That test, however, was limited in scope and is now extended to include excited configurations and different charge states of several elements. Comparisons of one- and two-photon ionization cross-sections show that the latter fail to resolve the aforementioned discrepancies.
桑迪亚国家实验室(Sandia National Laboratory)进行的与太阳内部有关的Z-pinch实验所报告的理论和实验不透明度之间的差异仍未得到解释。双光子电离有助于解决这种差异的建议最近得到了检验,发现并不能解释比预测更高的测量不透明度。然而,该测试的范围有限,现在扩展到包括几种元素的激发态和不同的电荷状态。单光子和双光子电离截面的比较表明,后者不能解决上述差异。
期刊介绍:
High Energy Density Physics is an international journal covering original experimental and related theoretical work studying the physics of matter and radiation under extreme conditions. ''High energy density'' is understood to be an energy density exceeding about 1011 J/m3. The editors and the publisher are committed to provide this fast-growing community with a dedicated high quality channel to distribute their original findings.
Papers suitable for publication in this journal cover topics in both the warm and hot dense matter regimes, such as laboratory studies relevant to non-LTE kinetics at extreme conditions, planetary interiors, astrophysical phenomena, inertial fusion and includes studies of, for example, material properties and both stable and unstable hydrodynamics. Developments in associated theoretical areas, for example the modelling of strongly coupled, partially degenerate and relativistic plasmas, are also covered.
