Abstract

An atomic model to describe the density and temperature effects on inelastic electron-ion collisions in dense plasmas is presented. This model has been used for Na-like iron to compute the optically allowed and forbidden collision rates from the ground configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s to the 1s2 2s2 2p6 41 excited levels with l = 0,1,2. The focus is on temperature and density ranges 100–300 eV and 1022–1024 cm-3.
