Abstract
Visible line emission from highly charged tungsten ions has been observed at the large helical device (LHD) using a tracer encapsulated solid pellet. One of the measured lines is assigned to a magnetic-dipole (M1) line of the ground-term fine-structure transition of W26+. The other line is unidentified but probably due to a highly charged tungsten ion. Photon emission was observed at 40 lines of sight divided along the vertical direction of a horizontally elongated poloidal cross section of the LHD plasma. The line-integrated intensity of the M1 line along each line of sight indicates a peaked profile at the plasma center where the electron temperatures are high enough so that tungsten ions are highly ionized.
