Abstract

The effect of fluctuations of the electron temperature on the population kinetics of a reduced atomic system is investigated in the case of a low density plasma, where the coronal approximation can be used. An exponential correlation function is assumed for the electron temperature fluctuations. A resonance of the average population as a function of the correlation time is observed and analyzed.
