Magnetic-dipole transitions observed in highly ionized Ga, Ge, As, and Kr

The Texas Experimental Tokamak (TEXT) was used to observe magnetic-dipole radiation arising from transitions within the 3s²3pⁿ ground-state configurations of highly stripped ions heavier than Ni. This device generates a plasma of 3 ×{} 10¹³{{-}cm}^{{-}3}electron density and ~1.5-keV temperature, ideally suited for ionization of these atoms to then=3$ shell. Wavelength and transition-rate predictions were made with Scaled Hartree-Fock radial energy integrals.
