Overview of recent atomic spectroscopy at the NIST Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) facility

摘要

Eight papers published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) EBIT spectroscopy team and collaborators from mid-2009 to mid-2011 are summarized. Previous discussions of the D-lines in Na-like ions and the Lyman-alpha lines in H-like ions are updated with new information. Nine issues related to the accurate use of Fe XVII x-ray lines for plasma diagnostics are enumerated. Work by ourselves and others to combine an EBIT and a synchrotron in the hard and soft x-ray regimes is compared and contrasted.
