Kjh. Phillips et al., CALCULATED AR-XVII LINE-INTENSITIES AND COMPARISON WITH SPECTRA FROM THE ALCATOR C TOKAMAK, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 79(1-4), 1993, pp. 78-80
Using recent atomic calculations, X-ray Ar X-VII line spectra have bee
n synthesized as a function of electron temperature and density. These
are compared with Alcator C tokamak spectra and show excellent agreem
ent for measured values of temperature and density. Argon X-ray line r
atios can thus serve as useful diagnostics of, e.g., solar plasmas for
which direct measurements of temperature and density are not availabl
