Dielectronic resonances of LMn and LNn (n $\ge$ 4) series in highly-charged M-shell tungsten ions

Abstract

We present spectroscopic measurements and detailed theoretical analysis of inner-shell LMn and LNn (n $\ge$ 4) dielectronic resonances in highly-charged M-shell ions of tungsten. The x-ray emission from W${}^{49+}$ through W${}^{64+}$ was recorded at the electron beam ion trap (EBIT) facility at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with a high-purity Ge detector for electron beam energies between 6.8 keV and 10.8 keV. The measured spectra clearly show the presence of strong resonance features as well as direct excitation spectral lines. The analysis of the recorded spectra with large-scale collisional-radiative (CR) modeling of the EBIT plasma allowed us to unambiguously identify numerous dielectronic resonances associated with excitations of the inner-shell 2s${}_{1/2}$, 2p${}_{1/2}$, and 2p${}_{3/2}$ electrons.
