Dielectronic satellite spectrum of heliumlike vanadium

Abstract

K x-ray spectra of heliumlike vanadium and associated dielectronic satellite emission from lithiumlike, berylliumlike, and boronlike vanadium have been observed with a high-resolution crystal spectrometer from the Lawrence Livermore electron-beam ion trap. Measurements include dielectronic satellite spectra from the KLL, KLM, KLN, KLO, and KLP resonance. Many transitions are identified that are unresolved in plasma observations, and transition energies are measured with high accuracy. Comparisons of calculated and observed intensities of selected transitions show few differences.
