Abstract
Significant discrepancies relevant to helioseismology between experimental and theoretical photon absorption by plasmas remain unresolved. Interestingly, a new process called transient spatial localization (TSL), where the plasma perturbs the final states in photon ionization processes, ostensibly enhances cross-sections resolving the extant discrepancies. The TSL model, however, is shown to involve ad hoc formulas not derived from fundamental principles and systematic approximations. In addition, a variant of the TSL model, which claimed to enhance electron collisional ionization, is inconsistent with the Schrodinger equation and fails to reproduce known results.
期刊介绍:
High Energy Density Physics is an international journal covering original experimental and related theoretical work studying the physics of matter and radiation under extreme conditions. ''High energy density'' is understood to be an energy density exceeding about 1011 J/m3. The editors and the publisher are committed to provide this fast-growing community with a dedicated high quality channel to distribute their original findings.
Papers suitable for publication in this journal cover topics in both the warm and hot dense matter regimes, such as laboratory studies relevant to non-LTE kinetics at extreme conditions, planetary interiors, astrophysical phenomena, inertial fusion and includes studies of, for example, material properties and both stable and unstable hydrodynamics. Developments in associated theoretical areas, for example the modelling of strongly coupled, partially degenerate and relativistic plasmas, are also covered.
