Effect of collisions on the intensities of the dielectron satellites of resonance lines of hydrogenlike ions

OSTI ID:6840494
An explanation is offered for the anomalously high intensity, observed in a laser plasma, of the x-ray lines corresponding to the 2p/sup 23/P-1s2p/sup 3/P transition in multiply charged He-like ions. It is shown that in a plasma with N/sub e/>10/sup 20/ cm/sup -3/ the population of the 2p/sup 23/P levels is due to excitation by electron impact from the autoionization level 2s2p/sup 3/P. The dependence of the intensity of these lines on N/sub e/ can be profitably used to determine plasma density, since there is no radiation capture in the case of dielectric satellites.
