Abstract
The hallmark of much recent work in x-ray spectroscopy is the study of emission from high ionization states. Such states can be produced by heavy-ion impact or in very hot plasmas. Ion excitation is a flexible way to produce spectra similar to and intermediate between those resulting from electron beam and plasma excitation. Ion excited x-ray spectra are useful in atomic and collision physics research. High temperature plasmas occurring in fusion power devices emit intense x radiation which provides a useful diagnostic of conditions within such plasmas. X-ray spectra from ion impact and hot plasmas are compared in this paper. They are shown to be complementary in some cases and very similar in others.
