Bremsstrahlung and radiative-recombination emissivity coefficients in non-Maxwellian plasmas

Abstract
Emission for bremsstrahlung and direct radiative recombination is studied in typically non-Maxwellian plasmas, as found in the critical-density region of laser-produced plasmas. The strong departure of the spectrum from its Maxwellian counterpart is described by a general representation (which is rigorous for hydrogenic plasmas) by means of calculated reduced emissivity coefficients. This departure leads us to reconsider a current temperature diagnostic.
