Popis: In the past we have modeled and studied the properties of plasma X‐ray line emissions separately focusing on two features of observed radiation. First, we modeled the polarization properties of He‐like Fe resonance lines in EBIT experiments [1] and of Li‐like and He‐like Si satellite lines in laser‐produced plasmas [2, 3]. These calculations were performed in the optically thin approximation. Second, we modeled and analyzed Al X‐ray line spectra recorded in experiments with targets irradiated by high‐intensity, sub‐picosecond‐duration laser pulses [4, 5]. These experimental spectra were recorded as not polarized; on the other hand, however, we showed the importance of opacity effects on the formation of resonance lines from the He‐like and H‐like ions by performing spectroscopic‐quality radiation‐transport calculations. In the present work we combine the two aspects by adding the consideration of opacity effects into our collisional‐radiative magnetic‐sublevel atomic kinetics model for calculating the pol...
