Atomic physics calculations in support of studies for high energy density plasmas

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. The authors have developed an atomic physics calculation package which can provide high quality atomic data for numerical simulations of high energy density plasmas. In this paper, they give detailed descriptions of physics models used in the package. Particular emphasis will be on a hybrid model for equations of state, a self-consistent field model for ion stopping power, and opacity calculations
