Abstract

The quantitative analysis of the collisional line broadening and the ionization state distributions for determining optical properties of aluminum plasmas are the main goal of this paper. In a preliminary analysis, results from an average atom model are compared with those from detailed configurations, assuming LTE conditions. The sensitivity to these physical aspects in the extinction coefficient and in the Rosseland and Planck mean opacities are carefully studied.
