Popis: Bound-bound transitions can occur when localized atomic orbitals are thermally depleted, allowing excitations that would otherwise be forbidden at zero temperature. We predict signatures of bound-bound transitions in x-ray Thomson scattering measurements of laboratory-accessible warm dense conditions. Efficient average-atom models amended to include quasibound states achieve continuity of observables under ionization and agree with time-dependent density functional theory in their prediction of these scattering signatures, which hold compelling diagnostic potential for high-energy-density experiments.
