Abstract

The opacity of some low Z plasmas that are in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) was calculated numerically. In this study spectrally resolved opacities under different temperature and density plasma conditions was calculated. The calculation results show that by increasing of plasma density, the opacity can be significantly enhanced. It is also shown that the plasma opacity increase with rising the plasma temperature reaches to a maximum value and then decreases again with the plasma temperature.
