Abstract

The transport of energy in heated plasmas requires the knowledge of the radiation coefficients. These coefficients consist of contribution of bremsstrahlung, photoionisation, bound-bound transmissions and scattering. Scattering of photons on electrons is taken into account by the model of Thomson, Klein-Nishina and the first order angular momentum of Klein-Nishina. It is shown that radiative scattering becomes an important part of energy transport in high temperature plasmas. Moreover, the contribution of transport correction to scattering is taken into account. The physics is discussed on the example of a heated plutonium plasma at different particle densities and temperatures in radiative equilibrium.
