title = "PLATO: a high-fidelity tool for multi-component plasmas",
abstract = "This work presents plato (PLAsmas in Thermodynamic nOn-equilibrium), a high-fidelity library for the thermodynamics, transport, kinetics, and radiation of equilibrium and nonequilibrium multi-component plasmas. plato is implemented in a modular and extensible fashion using Fortran 2003/2008 and can also be utilized in C and C++ codes. The theoretical framework of the library is based on non-equilibrium kinetic theory for dilute gases. A distinctive feature of plato is the availability of a hierarchy of physico-chemical models of increasing complexity and accuracy, ranging from legacy multi-temperature to grouping and/or collisional-radiative models. Application examples are presented and discussed to demonstrate the main features and capabilities of the library.",
