About 1% or more of iron was introduced into a hydrogen-filled theta pinch by a gun-injection method. The Fe X density in the plasma was determined from the measured intensity of the Fe X forbidden (coronal) line at 6374.5 A. Electron collisional excitation rate coefficients for Fe X were obtained from measurements of Fe X vacuum-ultraviolet line intensities, electron density and temperature, and Fe X density. The experimental rate coefficients are compared with theoretical results.
