Abstract
We observed and analyzed the extreme-ultraviolet spectra of highly-charged ions of Kr XXI to Kr XXXIV produced in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT). The beam energies varied between 1.1 keV and 30 keV, and the wavelengths were observed between 3 nm and 17.3 nm with uncertainties of about 0.002 nm to 0.003 nm. Six previously unknown lines were identified, and wavelength uncertainties have been improved for eighteen additional transitions. It was found that a line intensity ratio for allowed transitions 3s^2 3p3s^2 3d in Al-like Kr XXIV strongly deviated from predictions based on statistical weighting of the excited levels. Collisional-radiative modeling showed that this effect, which is due to the magnetic-dipole transition within the ground configuration 3s^2 3p, offers sensitive diagnostics of electron density in the regime of interest to fusion tokamaks, EBITs, and other low-density plasmas.Citation
