Abstract
The probability PNEET of excitation in the nuclear plasma of multiply charged ions due to transitions in their electronic shells is considered for the case where the energy difference between nuclear and electronic transitions ΔENEET becomes small due to the deformation of the electron shells of ions during their collisions. It is shown that such a resonance is possible only in a two-component plasma containing singly charged ions along with multiply charged ions. For ΔENEET up to ~100 eV, the occurrence of resonance can increase the probability PNEET by several orders of magnitude. It is noteworthy that resonant conversion of the excitation of nuclei into the excitation of their electron shells in the plasma is also possible.
