Abstract
Data produced by an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) can be crucial for interpreting spectra from plasmas created by long-pulse lasers. Four example spectra are considered: (i) the spectra from the hot gold plasma in the laser deposition region of a hot hohlraum, (ii) the He-β spectra from an argon-doped imploding core of an inertial confinement fusion capsule, (iii) the polarization in spectral lines produced by hot electrons generated by laser-plasma parametric instabilities, and (iv) the spectra of the underdense plasma from an aerogel X-ray source. The EBIT data needed for these cases are: (i) the line positions for 3 → 2 transitions in open M shell gold ions, (ii) the Li-like satellite lines for the K-β transition in open L shell argon ions, (iii) the polarization of suitable X-ray lines at 30 keV, and (iv) the precise wavelengths of K lines of highly charged Si ions and the precise wavelengths of L and K lines of highly charged Ge ions.PACS Nos.: 52.25.Os, 52.38.–4, 52.38.Bv, 52.57.–z, 52.57.Fg, 52.59.Px, 52.70.–m 52.70.LaKeywords
