The x-ray transitions in Cu-and Ni-like tungsten ions in the 5.19-5.26Å wavelength range that are relevant as a high-temperature tokamak diagnostic, in particular for JET in the ITER-like wall configuration, have been studied. Tungsten spectra were measured at the upgraded Shanghai-Electron Beam Ion Trap operated with electron-beam energies from 3.16 to 4.55 keV. High-resolution measurements were performed by means of a flat Si 111 crystal spectrometer equipped by a CCD camera. The experimental wavelengths were determined with an accuracy of 0.3-0.4 mÅ. The wavelength of the ground-state transition in Cu-like tungsten from the 3p 5 3d 10 4s4d [(3/2,(1/2,5/2) 2 ] 1/2 level was measured. All measured wavelengths were compared with those measured from JET ITER-like wall plasmas and with other experiments and various theoretical predictions including COWAN, RELAC, multiconfigurational Dirac-Fock (MCDF), and FAC calculations. To obtain a higher accuracy from theoretical predictions, the MCDF calculations were extended by taking into account correlation effects (configuration-interaction approach). It was found that such an extension brings the calculations closer to the experimental values in comparison with other calculations. ‡ See author list of "X. Litaudon et al., Nucl. Fusion 97, 102001 (2017)." for highly ionized tungsten ions up to Cu-like (W 45+ ) and Na-like (W 63+ ), respectively [19,20].The experimental spectroscopic studies of tungsten ions were supported by extensive theoretical considerations (see, e.g., Ref.[21] and references therein). In the last few years a significant improvement has been achieved in the theoretical approaches, in particular by the development of large-scale relativistic configuration-interaction (CI) methods taking into account electron correlation effects. Such a technique was employed for M1 transitions in Ag-and Cd-like tungsten [17,22], electric-multipole transitions in Sn-like tungsten [23,24], and for transitions from low-lying levels in Ni-like tungsten [25]. An extended experimental and theoretical data base on the tungsten ions can be found in Refs. [26][27][28].Recently, in measurements on the Joint European Torus (JET) with the ITER-like wall (ILW) configuration (beryllium wall and tungsten divertor) [29,30], the W 45+ and W 46+ (3p-4d) x-ray lines were observed. From analysis of tungsten line intensities, it was found that the W concentration is ∼10 −5 for the ELMy H-mode JET plasmas (edge-localized-mode of plasma operation with high-energy confinement times) with 2.0-2.5 MA current, 2.7 T toroidal magnetic field and 14-18 MW neutral beam injection (NBI) power. Tungsten concentration determined from the W 45+ line was systematically lower than that obtained from W 46+ by ∼20% for different types of JET discharges [7]. It was further shown that, in order to reproduce the experimental spectra in the 5.192-5.232Å wavelength range at the measured electron 2469-9926/2018/97(5)/052501 (9) 052501-1
