High-resolution x-ray spectra from molybdenum ions in the Alcator-C tokamak
We report on measurements of the x-ray line emission in the wavelength region 0 A, =4.3 -5.3 A from molybdenum in charge states between 28+ and 32+. The experimental results were compared with calculated line spectra (also presented) which facilitated the identification of many of the principal 2p-3d, 2s-3p, and 2p-3s transitions. Some indications of weaker satellite-line contributions were also found. The principal 2p-3d transitions were found to be the dominant ones. In particular, Mo' + gave stronger contributions than other charge states for our plasma condition of T, =1.0 -1.5 keV while available calculations of relative ion abundances have predicted Mo' + to be relatively strongest at T, =2.5 -3.0 keV.

A relativistic multi-configuration Dirac-Fock technique has been used for computing the transition wavelengths, transition probabilities, absorption oscillator strengths, and line strengths for the Ka and Kb line transitions of He-like to Ne-like molybdenum ions. The contributions from the Breit interaction, quantum electrodynamic corrections, and nuclear mass corrections to the initial and final levels have been taken into account. Transitions from the ground state to the n = 2 and 3 states of He-like and Li-like molybdenum have been calculated using two sets of configuration-interaction wavefunctions. One set of wavefunctions was generated using the fully relativistic GRASPVU code and the other was obtained using GRASP 2 , the calculated transition wavelength, transition probabilities, and absorption strengths obtained by these two independent methods are in very good agreement and there is good agreement between these results and recent theoretical and experimental results. These data provide reference values for the level lifetimes, charge state distributions, and average charge of molybdenum plasmas.
Ab initiofully relativistic calculations of x-ray spectra of highly charged ions
Physical Review A, 2007
We have developed and applied an ab initio fully relativistic method for precise calculations of outer-shell transitions in highly charged ions. This method is based on the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock-Sturm theory in combination with Brillouin-Wigner many-body perturbation theory. We demonstrate the capability of the method through calculations of the 3s, 3d → 2p transitions in Fe XIX. The basis set, constructed out of Dirac-Fock and Sturm one-electron wave functions, allows calculations with an accuracy of less than a few 10 −3 Å for the wavelengths and better than 1% for the oscillator strengths. Some of the transitions given here have not been observed or calculated previously.

In this study, comprehensive calculations of energies, hyperfine structure constants, Landé gJ factors and isotope shifts have been performed for the lowest 71 states of Na-like Ar7+, Kr25+ and Xe43+ ions. Radiative parameters viz., wavelengths, transition rates, oscillator strengths and lifetimes are estimated for the electric dipole E1 transitions among these levels. The states under consideration include 1s22s22p6nl for n = 3–9, l = 0–6, and the fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock (MCDHF) method integrated in the latest version of the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package (GRASP2018) is used for the calculations. The additional corrections, such as the Breit interaction and quantum electrodynamics effects are included in the relativistic configuration interaction calculations, and their effects on energies and other parameters are analysed. We examined the impact of including the core–core and core–valence correlations on level energies. Furth...

This paper presents a detailed investigation of the temporal, spatial, and spectroscopic properties of L-shell radiation from 0.8 to 1.0 MA Mo x pinches. Time-resolved measurements of x-ray radiation and both time-gated and time-integrated spectra and pinhole images are presented and analyzed. High-current x pinches are found to have complex spatial and temporal structures. A collisional-radiative kinetic model has been developed and used to interpret L-shell Mo spectra. The model includes the ground state of every ionization stage of Mo and detailed structure for the O-, F-, Ne-, Na-, and Mg-like ionization stages. Hot electron beams generated by current-carrying electrons in the x pinch are modeled by a non-Maxwellian electron distribution function and have significant influence on L-shell spectra. The results of 20 Mo x-pinch shots with wire diameters from 24 to 62 microm have been modeled. Overall, the modeled spectra fit the experimental spectra well and indicate for time-integ...
M-subshell ionization in near-central collisions of 20-MeV/amu carbon ions with molybdenum atoms
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2003
The Kb spectrum of 42 Mo bombarded by 20.8 MeV/amu carbon ions was measured with high-resolution using a transmission-type bent crystal spectrometer operated in the modified DuMond slit geometry. The M-shell satellites of the Kb 2 transition could be well resolved, whereas for the Kb 1;3 transitions only a broadening and shift of the line centroid was observed. The composite structure of the satellite lines which consist of many components that vary in energy and strength was analyzed using theoretical energies and relative intensities obtained from multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations. From the data analysis average M-shell satellite-to-diagram line yield ratios were deduced for both the Kb 1;3 and Kb 2 transitions. For the Kb 2 transition for which the relative contributions of the 3s,p and 3d spectator vacancies to the observed Kb 2 M 1 satellite yield could be determined, separated X(Kb 2 M 1 1;2;3):X(Kb 2 M 0) and X(Kb 2 M 1 4;5):X(Kb 2 M 0) yield ratios could even be extracted.
Calculation of relativistic atomic transition and ionization properties for highly-charged ions
Physica Scripta, 1999
Recent years have seen a growing number of large^scale atomic structure calculations using both nonrelativistic and relativistic theories. For investigations of multiple and highly charged ions, of course, a relativistic structure code like the widely known GRASP program is required. In a revised version of this program, namely GRASP92 [F.A. Parpia, C.F. Fischer, and I.P. Grant, Comput. Phys. Commun. 94, 249 (1996)], systematic studies of level energies and a few other bound^state properties are now being supported. ö Here, we brie£y introduce a new package RATIP which extends GRASP92 towards the computation of various Relativistic Atomic Transition and Ionization Properties. A short overview of the capabilities of RATIP along with current developments will be given.
Spectra of Mo XIII--XVIII from a laser-produced plasma and a low-inductance vacuum spark
Journal of The Optical Society of America, 1980
The spectrum of Mo from 20 to 90 A was obtained with a laser-produced plasma and a low-inductance vacuum spark. Wavelengths and line identifications were determined for transitions of the type 3d-4p and 3d-4f in Mo XIII-Xvi and for 3p-3d type transitions in Mo xvi-xviii. The line identifications were obtained with the aid of relativistically corrected Hartree-Fock calculations. Energylevel diagrams are given for the 3d 8 4p and 3d 8 4f configurations of Mo XVI.
Accurate modeling of benchmark x-ray spectra from highly charged ions of tungsten
Physical Review A, 2006
We present detailed collisional-radiative modeling for a benchmark x-ray spectrum of highly charged tungsten ions in the range between 3 and 10 Å produced in an electron beam ion trap ͑EBIT͒ with a beam energy of 4.08 keV. Remarkably good agreement between calculated and measured spectra was obtained without adjustable parameters, highlighting the well-controlled experimental conditions and the sophistication of the kinetic simulation of the non-Maxwellian tungsten plasma. This agreement permitted the identification of spectral lines from Cu-like W 45+ and Ni-like W 46+ ions, led to the reinterpretation of a previously known line in Ni-like ion as an overlap of electric-quadrupole and magnetic-octupole lines, and revealed subtle features in the x-ray spectrum arising from the dominance of forbidden transitions between excited states. The importance of level population mechanisms specific to the EBIT plasma is discussed as well.
