文摘Fundamental quantum transport equation for impact-ionization processes in fusion plasmas is formulated in the actor-spectator description. The density-matrix formulism is adopted to treat both coherent and incoherent effects in a unified fashion. Quantum electrodynamic effects are also considered for high-temperature scenarios. Electron-impact ionization of uranium ion U91＋ and proton-impact ionization of hydrogen are given as examples.
