Modeling of X-ray spectra from plasma structures
Study of X-ray transitions in tungsten ions relevant to the diagnostic of high-temperature tokamak plasmas, basing on the Multi-Configuration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and Configuration Interaction (MCDHF-CI) calculations and on the Collisional-Radiative Modelling (CRM).
The MCDHF-CI method with an appropriate active space of configurations with virtual orbitals allows us to reduce substantially the difference between the experiment and the theoretical predictions, more than the „pure” MCDHF calculations.
Theoretical spectroscopic data are used to spectral line identification and as a basis for the CRM calculations, which are used to simulate radiation spectra of ions in tokamak plasmas. In fusion applications, spectral analysis of mid- and high-Z atomic systems is used to obtain key plasma parameters related to metallic impurity concentrations, ion and electron temperatures, and plasma rotation velocity.
