Radiative recombination processes in classical nonideal plasmas

Summary form only given, as follows. Nonideal effects on the radiative recombination of the free electron with the ion in classical nonideal plasmas are investigated. The radiative recombination cross section is obtained by the principle of detailed balance with the photoionization cross section of the hydrogenic ion in nonideal plasmas. It is found that the collective and plasma screening effects significantly reduce the radiative recombination cross section in nonideal plasmas. It is also found that the collective and plasma screening effects on the recombination cross section is almost independent of the projectile energy.
