Abstract

Heavy atoms Au (Z=79), Pb (Z=82), Bi (Z=83), and U (Z=92) have been introduced in the low-density (ne1013 cm-3) high-temperature (Te 1 keV) TEXT tokamak (Fusion Research Center, University of Texas at Austin) plasma. The emission has been measured in the 50200- range using a photometrically calibrated, time-resolving grazing-incidence spectrometer. The O-shell ion emission has been identified by comparison with ab initio energy-level calculations and line-intensity predictions of collisional radiative models for various charge states with 5p65dk ground-state configurations.
