Abstract
An analytic form is obtained for the population distribution function in an atomic plasma as a series in successive time derivatives of the population of the first level. The first approximation includes the well-known method of a stationary sink. The quasistationary distribution obtained for hydrogen agrees well with numerical calculations of recombination and ionization, and for lithium, helium, and argon the quasistationary distribution gives qualitative agreement with numerical calculations.
