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.

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.

Abstract The M-intrashell spectra from Co-like Yb43+ through Na-like Yb59+ ions produced in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have been studied in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range. A few N-intrashell transitions for Co-like Yb43+ and Fe-like Yb44+ are also reported. The EUV radiation was observed with a flat-field grazing incidence spectrometer in the wavelength region of about 7.5 nm to 26.2 nm. The electron beam energies were varied between 3.6 keV and 18 keV to produce the ionization stages of interest. The line identifications were based on the large-scale simulations of the EBIT plasma emission using the non-Maxwellian collisional-radiative code NOMAD. A total of 76 previously unobserved spectral lines corresponding to electric-dipole and magnetic-dipole transitions in the above mentioned ions were identified and discussed. In particular, our accurate wavelength of 24.3855±0.0005 nm for a magnetic-dipole (M1) transition in the ground configuration of Co-like ion presents a solid benchmark for comparisons with the most advanced theories of atomic structure.

Using an electron-beam ion trap and a flat-field spectrometer, the extreme ultraviolet resonance lines of Zn-like ions of Yb, W, Au, Pb, Th, and U were observed and their wavelengths measured with greatly improved accuracy. The results are compared to those from laser-produced plasmas and to theory, and significant differences are found. PACS Nos.: 32.30.Jc, 39.30.+w
