DIELECTRONIC RECOMBINATION IN THE AVERAGE-ATOM MODEL

flutoionization and dielectronic attachment are usually omitted from rate equations for the non-LTE
average-atom model, causing systematic errors in predicted ionization states and electronic populations for atoms in hot. dense plasmas produced by laser irradiation of solid targets. We formulate a method by which dielectronic recombination can be included in average-atom calculations without conflict with the principle of detailed balance. The essential new feature in this extended average atom model is a treatment of strong correlations of electron populations induced by the dielectronic attachment process
