Role of fast ions in the emission from a hot plasma
Impurity radiative loss can be a direct energy-loss mechanism for plasma ions, equally important as the corresponding mechanism for electrons. Under certain conditions the energy loss due to the excitation of impurities can also amount to a substantial fraction of the energy loss of fast heavy particles in a plasma.
