Demonstration of geometric effects and resonant scattering in the x-ray spectra of high-energy-density plasmas
In a plasma of sufficient size and density, photons emitted within the system have a probability of being re-absorbed and re-emitted multiple times - a phenomenon known in astrophysics as resonant scattering. This effect alters the ratio of optically-thick to optically thin lines, depending on the p...
