Silicon satellite spectra from laser-imploded microballoons

  • 1. Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland

Description

The dielectronic satellite spectral lines, on the long-wavelength side of the hydrogenic Si XIV Lyman-α line, have been observed in the space-resolved spectra from laser-imploded glass microballoons. In the electron density range 1 x 1022 to 2 x 1023 cm-3, the intensities of the Si XIII 2s2p 3P--1s2s 3S and 2p23P--1s2p 3P satellite lines increase with density in agreement with numerical modeling. These satellite lines are a promising density diagnostic for the imploded glass plasma
