Figure 2

Charge state distribution of solid-density Ag plasma at an electron temperature of 500 eV and radiative temperature of 1500 eV. The fractions of populations are determined to be 4.4%, 5.2%, 14.4%, 18.7%, 22.1%, 19.7%, 10.8%, and 3.6%, respectively, for Ag33+-Ag40+. Relative population distributions of SCH, DCH, TCH and QCH states are also given. A fraction of 1% hot electrons with a temperature of 10 keV is included in the calculation.
