Description

This contribution reviews experimental and theoretical work on spectroscopy of tungsten published since the last critical compilation of the energy levels and spectral lines of highly ionized tungsten (Kramida and Shirai. At. Data Nucl. Data Tables, 95, 305 (2009)). Since then, 18 new experimental studies were published, which resulted in new identifications and (or) significantly improved wavelengths of spectral lines and energy levels of Li-like through As-like and Pm-like tungsten. A few tens of theoretical studies of tungsten spectra were published since 2008. A number of them report on high-precision calculations of energy levels, transition wavelengths, and radiative rates for tungsten spectra, such as neutral tungsten, Yb-like, Rh-like through Rb-like, Ag-like, Ga-like, Zn-like, Ni-like, Ca-like, Al-like, Mg-like, Na-like, Ne-like, B-like, Be-like, and Li-like. These developments are reviewed. Based on new experimental data, systematic errors are removed from some of the earlier measurements. Some new data are obtained by analyzing publications of other authors. Based on new published theoretical data, some old experimental results were confirmed and assessed. Revised and extended tables of energy levels and spectral lines of highly ionized tungsten are presented. (author)
