Seventh spectrum of tungsten (W vii); resonance lines of Hf v

Abstract
Observations of W vii were carried out in the spectral range 100 to 2000 Å utilizing normal- and grazing-incidence spectrographs. The light source was a sliding spark operated at peak currents of 1000 to 3000 A. Eighty-five energy levels of 4f13nl and 5p5nl configurations were deduced for nl=5d, 6s, 6p, 6d, and 7s. These are based on the classification of 310 lines in the range 130 to 1436 Å. Calculations of all observed configurations were carried out with configuration interaction (CI) for the purpose of fitting radial integrals and confirming the analysis. The strong CI between p5nl and f13nl configurations where nl=5d, 6p, 6d provided well-defined CI integrals in good agreement with Hartree-Fock values. A value of 984 100 ± 500 cm1 was derived for the ionization energy from the 4f13ns series. The resonance lines of Hf v for 5p65p55d, 6s are given. A revised value for the the ionization energy of W vi is given.
