Abstract
Radiative transfer in a nonequilibrium plasma in an external electric field is considered. The system of kinetic equations determining the populations of atomic levels is written taking into account the combination of collision and radiative processes and is solved together with the kinetic equation for photon of various frequencies, which are emitted and absorbed in the radiative transitions from the states of the continuous and discrete spectra. The shape of spectral lines is determined from the solution of the quantum-mechanical problem on the emission of an atom in the electric field of the plasma and an external magnetic field, taking the Doppler effect into consideration. The developed approach is used in the model calculation of radiative transfer under the conditions corresponding to the edge plasma in a tokamak, which is simulated by a homogeneous plane layer of a deuterium plasma. It is shown that the joint action of the external magnetic field and the electric plasma fields considerably affects the spectral and integrated characteristics of the radiation.
