Abstract

A method to calculate ionization properties of very dense correlated plasmas is proposed. A mixture composed of hydrogen atoms in their ground state and unbound protons and electrons is studied. All species are treated as classical point particles interacting through pseudo-potentials. As an effect of the correlation between hydrogen atoms it is found that the ionization can decrease as the temperature increases. All the correlation functions and excess chemical potentials are evaluated in the HNC approximation.
