X ray radiation of highly charged ions : with 52 tables X Ray Radiation of Highly Charged Ions is a comprehensive collection of atomic characteristics of highly charged ion (HCI) sources and elementary processes related to X ray radiation: energy levels wavelengths transition probabilities cross sections and rate coefficients. The material covers a broad range of elementary processes occuring in hot laboratory and astrophysical plasmas: radiative and dielectronic recombination radiative electron capture radiation transfer and excitation and others. The book comprises a large amount of figures tables simple formulas and if possible scaling laws for radiative and collisional characteristics of HCI. The data presented is useful for specialists who deal with X ray spectroscopy physics of HCI heavy particle collisions and thermonuclear fusion
