AB - Calculations of the opacity of hot, dense matter require models for plasma line broadening. How-ever, the most general theories are too complex to calculate directly and some approximation is inevitably required. The most widely-used approaches focus on the line centre, where a Lorentzian shape is obtained. Here, we demonstrate that in the opposite limit, far from the line centre, the opacity can be expressed in terms of second-order transitions, such as electron-photon and two-photon processes. We suggest that this insight could form the basis for a new approach to improve calculations of opacity in hot, dense matter. Preliminary calculations suggest that this approach could yield increased opacity away from absorption lines.
