Description
Validation and verification of plasma kinetics codes requires the development of quantitative methods and techniques for code comparisons. We describe two parameters that can be used for characterization of differences between such codes. It is shown that these parameters, which are determined from the most general results of kinetic codes, can provide important information on the differences between the basic rate coefficients employed. Application of this method is illustrated by comparisons of some results from the 3rd NLTE Code Comparison Workshop for carbon, germanium, and gold plasmas.
