Abstract  Based on the detailed configuration accounting model, the authros have developed a method to calculate the rate of excitation-autoionization (EA) in the average atom model and used it in the rate equations. The numerical results show that EA effect is signifficant in high temperature low density plasma and can cause an additional ionization up to 15% of an ionization stage.
Keywords:  excitation-autoionization      non-local thernodynamical equilibrium      average atom model
