Abstract
The magnetic-octupole (M3) and electric-quadrupole (E2) transitions between theground state $3d^{10}~^1S_0$ and the lowest excited $3d^94s$ $(5/2,1/2)$ J = 3and J = 2 states in the Ni-like tungsten are shown to exhibit a strongdependence on electron density $N_e$ in the range of values typical for tokamakplasmas. Remarkably, the total intensity of these overlapping lines remainsalmost constant, which may explain the strong emission in the 7.93~\AA~lineobserved in tokamak experiments (Neu R et al. 1997 \JPB {\bf 30} 5057).Utilization of the M3 and E2 line ratios for density diagnostics inhigh-spectral-resolution experiments is discussed as well.Citation
