Calculating opacity in hot, dense matter using second-order electron-photon and two-photon transitions to approximate line broadening

Calculations of the opacity of hot, dense matter require models for plasma line broadening. However, the most general theories are too complex to calculate directly and some approximation is inevitably required. The most widely used approaches focus on the line center, where a Lorentzian shape is ob...
