TL;DR: FLYCHK as discussed by the authors is a straightforward, rapid tool to provide ionization and population distributions of plasmas in zero dimension with accuracy sufficient for most initial estimates and in many cases is applicable for more sophisticated analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the ability to diagnose the hohlraum interior using emission and absorption spectroscopy of Si atoms added as a tracer to the central portion of the foam.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear response matrix (LRM) approach to near-LTE simulation is used to characterize the material response to radiation, which is closely related to that used by the LRM approach for these calculations, and a numerical example from a Z-pinch application demonstrates that this method improves both the stability and convergence of the calculations.

TL;DR: In this article, the dependence of the emission direction of the fast electron beams on the experimental conditions of the laser and plasmas, such as intensity, polarization, incident angle, scale length of the preplasma, as well as the possible ways to control the emissions direction of fast electrons are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a quantum kinetic theory approach to line broadening, extended to stationary non-equilibrium states, yields corrections to the standard electron impact widths of isolated lines that depend on the population of the radiator internal levels.

TL;DR: In this article, the electron density distribution in the plane across the X-ray beam is characterized by considerable asymmetry along and across the polarization direction even after the vanishing of the electron energy anisotropy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the lifetime of quarkonium moving with velocity v through a quark-gluon plasma at temperature T is computed, and conclusions are drawn concerning the possibility of detection of the meson in a high-energy heavy-nucleus collision.
