Abstract
The spectrum of xenon excited in a low-inductance vacuum spark was photographed at high resolution in the region 9.5 nm - 15.5 nm. The observed transitions were identified as belonging to ions from Xe8+ to Xe13+. In the region of importance for EUV lithography around 13.4 nm, the strongest lines were identified as 4d8 -4d7 5p transitions in Xe10+. The identifications were made by using electronic energy parameters extrapolated along the isoelectronic sequence.Citation
