SPECTRA OF DIELECTRONIC SATELLITES DUE TO 2-]1-TRANSITIONS AND LINE POLARIZATION USED FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE PLASMA DIAGNOSTICS

Atomic data calculated using the 'MZ' program were used to construct s ynthetic spectra of dielectronic satellites to resonance line 1s2p P-1 (1)-1s(2 1)S(0). The contribution of Li-, Be-, B-, C-, N-, O-like ions were taken into account. The inclusion of various amount of the level s of the ground state of the preceding isoelectronic sequence relevant to the formation of upper (autoionizing) levels in the calculation of autoionization rates and intensity factors leads to various theoretic al synthetic spectra. Polarization of B-like dielectronic satellite li nes was calculated and the most polarized lines from all intense lines were determined which is important in diagnostics of hot electrons in high-temperature plasma.
