Radiation emission and absorption in a hydrogen plasma of a laser engine

<p>In this work, we describe all the possible radiative processes occuring in a low temperature hydrogen plasma. Some of the fundamental concepts involving ionized gases and collision phenomena are presented, and a rigourous approach is used to show that classical mechanics is quite appropriat...
