Abstract

The photoabsorption cross-section of an ion immersed in a plasma is studied on the basis of the Thomas–Fermi approximation for the equilibrium electron distribution and Bloch's classical hydrodynamic model for collective motion of the electrons. The frequency-dependent cross-section scales with the nuclear charge, and depends strongly on the plasma density and temperature. An approximation of the frequency dependence is constructed with the aid of sum rules and Padé approximants.
