**Meet the editors**

Haikel Jelassi is a professor of physics and Head of the Research Laboratory on Energy and Matter for Nuclear Sciences Development, National Centre for Nuclear Sciences and Technologies, Tunisia. His research focuses on nuclear and atomic physics. Prof. Jelassi is interested in many research fields in fundamental

as well as applied physics such as: cold atoms, calculations of atomic processes for plasma diagnostic, as well as the study of irradiated dyes by gamma radiation. He has a special interest for the use of relativistic codes to calculate extended and accurate useful atomic data for plasma diagnostics and modeling (radiative and collisional properties of ions).

Djamel Benredjem is a professor in the Department of Physics at Université Paris-Sud (Orsay) and the director of the Laboratoire Aimé Cotton.

His research focuses on atomic physics in hot plasmas, with a special interest in radiative properties (radiative power losses, opacity, etc.). As a theoretician he models

radiative properties and develops non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) codes.
