摘要
A Lagrangian hydrodynamics code is used to provide the temperature and density parameterization for a coupled set of rate equations which describe the number densities of the ionization stages in a laser-produced, expanding plasma. Comparison of the steady state and rate equation ion density distributions indicates that time delays in the ionization of the plasma can affect x-ray calculations whereas the calculation of the freezing out of the recombination processes in the plasma is necessary to predict signals from ion diagnostics. © 1979 American Institute of Physics.
