A vapor containing 10-to 20-times-ionized copper was generated by focusing a 1-GW, 15-nsec, Nd-glass-laser pulse down to 0.3 mm on a metallic copper sample. Spectral radiation in the range of 125 to 450 A was recorded photographically with the National Bureau of Standards 10.7-m grazing-incidence spectrograph. Ninety-two spectral lines arising from Cu XII to Cu XXI (Ar I through F I isoelectronic sequences) were identified. Twenty-six of these mainly in Cu XIX and Cu XXI, had been interpreted previously. The transition arrays observed were of the type 3s/sup 2/3p/sup n/-3s/sup 2/3p/sup n//sup -1/3d and -3s3p/sup n//sup +1/. Slate integrals were fitted to the energy levels derived from these data and from previously measured magnetic-dipole lines.
