  • Abstract
    Summary form only given, as follows. The studies of high energy density plasmas require basic atomic data, equations of state, opacities, and stopping power. Unfortunately the related experimental data are very limited. To obtain these data for a wide domain of plasma conditions, one must rely on theoretical calculations. We have developed an atomic physics calculation package which can provide high quality atomic data for numerical simulations of high energy density plasmas. Particular emphasis will be on a hybrid model for equations of state, a self-consistent field model for ion stopping power, and opacity calculations.
