Abstract
Time-resolved uranium spectra emitted from a relatively low-density (ne1013 cm-3), high-temperature (Te1 keV) plasma confined in the Texas experimental tokamak (TEXT) have been recorded in the 50100 A range. It is found that narrow emission bands originating from transitions within charge states having 5p65dk and 5s25pk ground configurations, U xv to U xxxi, dominate these spectra. The identification of the transition arrays is based on the comparison with both ab initio intermediate-coupling relativistic level structure computations including configuration-interaction effects for the simple cases and, for complex charge states, with the predictions of the unresolved transition array model.
