Abstract. For benchmark tests of the spectral analysis tool for solar plasma, applying the theoretical plasma radiation model to the laboratory plasma is important. In this paper, a compact-EBIT (Electron Beam Ion Trap) was adopted as the laboratory plasma, and extreme UV spectra of Fe ions were measured by the flat-field grazing-incidence spectrometer with no slit. In order to analyze the spectra from plasma generated by mono-energetic electron beam, our model was revised in term of an electron velocity distribution. Consequently, the measured spectra by the compact-EBIT were analyzed by our revised model.
IntroductionSolar observations have been progressed by HINODE satellite that was launched on 2006 September 23 JST [1]. HINODE satellite has a high precise spectrometer EIS (EUV Imaging Spectrometer). EIS measure EUV spectra in the range of 170-210Å and 250-290Å. In these wavelength ranges, many Mshell Fe ion lines and some L-shell ion lines are measured. These ions are found in the electron temperature of several ten eV to few hundred eV (few keV in flare). M-shell Fe ion lines are often applied for density diagnostics in the region between transition and corona of the Sun. Therefore, the plasma diagnostic tool for line intensity analysis is important and the tool should be evaluated by applying to some laboratory plasmas where the parameters are under control.In the previous study, the benchmark tests by CHIANTI code [2] and our original model including the most recent atomic data have been carried out by applying to EIS's spectra from solar plasma [3]. Our model was also applied to LHD (large helical device) plasma at NIFS (National Institute for Fusion Science) as the benchmark test [4]. In this study, spectra measured by an EBIT (electron beam ion trap) [5] are adopted as a benchmark test. The generated plasma by EBIT has a simpler plasma parameter profile than magnetic confined plasma. However, an electron energy of the Tokyo-EBIT is much too high to produce M-shell iron ions. Therefore we build a new compact-EBIT [6]. In this paper, we present the analysis of the first data obtained with the compact-EBIT.
