Original abstract
An opacity model that incorporates improved treatments of both plasma screening and configuration interaction (CI) effects is proposed, and a 25-30% enhancement on the iron L-shell opacity is predicted at solar interior temperatures. It is originated from the plasma screening induced 14-17% enhancement on the photoionization cross sections and the CI induced 10-20% enhancement on photoexcitation and photoionization cross sections for open L-shell ions. These explain the long-standing discrepancy between theoretical and experimental iron opacity [Nature 517, 56], and the relatively weaker enhancements on chromium and nickel opacity [Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 235001] due to the sensitivity of these effects to the different L-shell electron population and plasma temperature/density. This letter provides the systematic interpretation of L-shell opacity measurements at solar interior temperatures, and advances the accurate simulation of opacity and radiative transport in high-energy-density plasma.
