Bremsstrahlung emission in a non LTE plasma

We point out the great extent to which the calculated electron Bremsstrahlung emission departs from the LTE behaviour in the critical density region of a laser produced plasma. Consequences on the validity of a standard temperature diagnostic are discussed.
