Abstract

We have made high-resolution measurements of the iron L-shell emission near 15 Å using the EBIT-I electron beam ion trap at Livermore that exhibit L-shell transitions from autoionizing levels in Fe13+, Fe14+ and Fe15+ ions. The observed L-shell iron spectra were modeled using the flexible atomic code augmented with transition energies produced by calculations based on the relativistic multi-reference Møller–Plesset (MRMP) perturbation theory, allowing us to identify multiple M-shell iron lines. Our measured values for the Fe XV emission lines are in excellent agreement with a recent measurement using the BESSY-II synchrotron but the present measurements have somewhat higher accuracy. Our MRMP calculations are compared to earlier calculations using the many-body perturbation theory approach, and we find good agreement for some but not all transitions.
