Development of a Pseudo Non-LTE model for Z-pinch simulations

Predicting the energetic and spectral characteristics of Z-pinch sources is a very delicate task. Z-pinch plasmas conditions are spread across a wide range of parameter space and often far from Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE). In addition, the increasing optical depth of the plasma at stagnati...
