Abstract

The properties of emitting ions in a plasma provides both potential for plasma diagnostics and key information required for plasma modeling. Generalized collisional radiative theory provides a powerful tool for the modeling of low and moderately dense plasmas. A new Python program is presented that solves the collisional radiative and ionization balance equations for application to fusion, laboratory, and astrophysical plasmas. It produces generalized coefficients that can be easily imported into existing plasma modeling codes and spectral diagnostics. An overview of the code is presented, along with selected results for applications to high-Z plasma facing components.
