Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that due to the intensity of the backlight radiation seen by the sample, two-photon processes are likely to play an important role only for highly excited states.

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the three parts of an atomic physics, atomic kinetics and lineshape code, ALICE, are described and examples of the code being used to model the emissivity and opacity of plasmas are discussed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The detailed comparison of the experimental Ga spectrum and the spectrum simulated by the FLYCHK code indicates two significant discrepancies, the transition energy of a Li-like dielectronic satellite and the calculated intensity of a He-like line, that should lead to improvements in the kinetics codes used to simulate the X-ray spectra from highly-charged ions.
