Abstract

In previous works, we developed several atomic physics models for calculating opacities for low-Z materials. In this work, we used those models for obtaining opacities for Au plasmas in local thermodynamic equilibrium. In this particular case, a great number of configurations must be considered for a full treatment of atoms at plasma conditions. Thus, we included several changes in the aforementioned models, which are extensively reported here.
