Abstract
The effect of self-absorption on the rate of collisional-radiative recombination is investigated using the statistical theory developed in an earlier paper. Detailed calculations are carried out on hydrogen ion plasmas. The following cases are treated: case (i), plasma optically thick towards lines of the Lyman series; case (ii), plasma optically thick towards lines of all series; cases (i
c
) and (ii
c
), plasma as in cases (i
c
) and (ii
c
) respectively but also optically thick towards the Lyman continuum . It is found that self-absorption may reduce the recombination coefficient considerably even in the low electron density limit.
