Abstract

High-intensity, frequency-tripled light from a multibeam laser system (OMEGA) was focused on targets in order to generate plasmas of highly ionized atoms. X-ray data were collected with high-resolution spectrographs. Accurate wavelength measurements of 2p–3d, 3s, 4d, and 4s lines in L-series spectra of transition elements were made. Classification of observed lines was based on atomic structure calculations in which the radial integrals, calculated ab initio, were adjusted with semiempirically determined scaling factors. The results are presented as isoelectronic sequences of the observed and calculated wavelengths for the Li-, Be-, and B-like spectra from atomic numbers 22 (Ti) through 32 (Ge).
