Systematic variation of the electron-beam energy in an electron-beam ion trap has been employed to produce soft-X-ray spectra (20 to 60 Å) of Au with well-defined maximum charge states ranging from Br- to Co-like ions. Guided by large-scale relativistic atomic structure calculations, the strongest Δn = 0 (n = 4 to n' = 4) transitions in Rb- to Cu-like ions (Au42+ – Au50+) have been identified.

Systematic variation of the electron-beam energy in an electron-beam ion trap has been employed to produce soft-X-ray spectra of Os, Bi, Th, and U with the highest charge states ranging up to Ni-like ions. Guided by relativistic atomic structure calculations, the strongest lines have been identified with Δn = 0 (n = 4 to n′ = 4) transitions in Rb- to Cu-like ions. The rather weak 4p–4d transitions are much less affected by QED contributions than the dominant 4s–4p transitions. Our wavelength measurements consequently provide benchmarks with and (almost) without QED. Because the radiative corrections are not very sensitive to the number of electrons in the valence shell, our data, moreover, provide benchmarks for the evaluation of electron–electron interactions.

At the Livermore electron-beam ion-trap facility, extreme-ultraviolet spectra of tungsten have been recorded in the wavelength range 40–85 Å. The electron-beam energy was varied systematically to identify the individual spectra of Rb-like W37+ to Cu-like W45+. About 60 spectral features have been identified.

X-ray emission from neon-like Fe XVII has been measured with high-resolution spectrometers from laboratory or celestial sources for nearly seven decades. Two of the strongest lines regularly identified in these spectra are the 1P1 → 1S0 resonance and the 3D1 → 1S0 intercombination line, known as 3C and 3D, respectively. This paper gives a brief overview of measurements of the intensities of the lines 3C and 3D from laboratory and celestial sources and their comparison to model calculations, with an emphasis on measurements completed using an electron beam ion trap. It includes a discussion of the measured absolute cross sections compared with results from modern atomic theory calculations as well as the diagnostic utility of the relative intensity, R = I3C/I3CD, as it applies to the interpretation of spectra measured from the Sun and extra-solar sources.

The derivation of a universal equation to compute the range of emitted X rays is presented for homogeneous bulk materials. This equation is based on two fundamental assumptions: the φ(ρz) curve of X-ray generation is constant and the ratio of the emitted to the generated X-ray range is equal to the ratio of the emitted to the generated X-ray intensity. An excellent agreement is observed with data obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of 200,000 electron trajectories in C, Al, Cu, Ag, Au, and an Fe–B alloy with boron weight fractions equal to 0.01, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 0.99, performed with the electron beam energy varied from 1 to 30 keV in 1-keV steps. When the ratio of the generated X-ray range to the photon mean free path is much smaller than one, the emission X-ray range is equal to the generated X-ray range, but when this ratio is much greater than one, the emission X-ray range is constant and is given by the product of the effective photon mean free path multiplied by the sine of the take-off angle.
