We use a simple average-atom model (NIMP) to calculate the distribution
of ionization in a photoionization-dominated plasma, for comparison with
recent experimental measurements undertaken on the Z-machine at the Sandia
National Laboratory. The agreement between theory and experiment is found to
be as good for calculations with an average-atom model as for those generated
by more detailed models.
