The radial profiles of the FeXVII 3s-2p and 3d-2p transitions emitted in the wavelength range of 15 − 17Å have been observed in the Large Helical Device (LHD). The chord-integrated radial profiles are converted into radial emissivity profiles by means of Abel inversion. The emissivity ratios among FeXVII n = 3-2 transitions calculated from the radial emissivity profiles are compared with calculations based on a collisional-radiative (CR) model developed for Fe ions. The result reasonably confirms the effect of electron temperature and density on the emissivity ratio. However, the emissivity of the 3C (2p 5 3d 1 P1 → 2p 6 ) transition is obviously lower than the prediction from the CR model. This discrepancy is consistent with measurements in the solar corona and other laboratory plasmas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
