Cover Story: Radiation transport and diagnostics of high-energy-density (HED) density environments, such as fusion devices and stellar interiors, require a complex interface of atomic physics and plasma physics. High-accuracy atomic physics data need to be treated for plasma broadening effects in order to obtain the fundamental quantity: the opacity of matter in HED sources. This paper describes state-of-the-art R-marix calculations for complex atomic systems, as well as plasma broadening of autoionizing resonances in atomic cross sections for physical processes, which then become energy-temperature-density dependent. Results are presented for iron ions and opacity parameters for modeling. View this paper
