Abstract

The M-intrashell spectra from Co-like Yb$^43+}$ through Na-like Yb$^59+}$ ions produced in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have been studied in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range. A few N-intrashell transitions for Co-like Yb$^43+}$ and Fe-like Yb Yb$^44+}$ are also reported. The EUV radiation was observed with a flat-field grazing incidence spectrometer in the wavelength region of about 7.5nm to 26.2nm. The electron beam energies were varied between 3.6keV and 18keV to produce the ionization stages of interest. The line identifications were based on the large-scale simulations of the EBIT plasma emission using the non-Maxwellian collisional-radiative code NOMAD. A total of 75 previously unobserved spectral lines corresponding to electric-dipole and magnetic-dipole transitions in the above mentioned ions were identified and discussed.
