摘要
Low-density non-local-thermodynamic-equilibrium plasmas in intense radiation fields occur widely in inertial confinement fusion and astrophysics.Understanding the X-ray spectrum and the atomic kinetics of such plasmas is therefore of great importance.However,the creation of uniform-density nonequilibrium plasmas in intense radiation fields in the laboratory and the measurement of their spectra with high resolution are challenging tasks.Here,we present a new method to produce such a uniform aluminum plasma and explore photon-induced kinetics and relevant atomic physics by measuring its spectrum.It is observed that in the presence of an external radiation field,the satellites q,r and a-d of the He-resonance line are greatly enhanced compared with the satellites j,k,l.Analysis of atomic kinetics reveals that this effect of intense radiation is due to competition between the photoexcitation and autoionization processes.With this effect taken into account,simulated spectra are able to reproduce the measured spectra quite well.
