The Berlin electron beam ion trap (EBIT) has been established by the Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik to generate atomic physics data in support of research in the field of controlled nuclear fusion by measuring the radiation from highly charged ions, particularly tungsten ions, in the x-ray, extreme ultraviolet and visible spectral ranges. With EBIT a selected ensemble of ions in specific charge states can be produced, stored and excited for spectroscopic investigations. Employing this technique, we have investigated the soft x-ray lines at 0.56 nm from Cu-like W45+ to V-like W50+ ions originating from 3d–4f transitions, which also are observed in the high-temperature core plasma of the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. A further study focuses on Si-like W60+ to Ne-like W64+ tungsten ions predicted to dominate the core plasma of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and radiate strongly at 0.13 nm from n=3–2 transitions.
