Abstract
Steady-state radiative cooling rates, average charge states (Z), and mean square charge states (Z/sup 2/) for 47 elements with atomic number Z ranging from 2 to 92 have been calculated for low-density (n/sub e/ < 10/sup 16/ electrons/cm/sup 3/), high-temperature (T = 0.002 ..-->.. 100 keV) plasmas. The 47 elements spanning the periodic table include many materials of interest to controlled thermonuclear fusion research. The results for the radiation rates and charge states are presented graphically versus plasma temperature and in the form of least squares polynomial fits.
