Abstract:
We describe the design and implementation of a multi channel Doppler tuned spectrometer setup to study physics of highly charged ions at high resolution in a direct way. A unique Soller slit assembly coupled with a long one dimensional position sensitive proportional counter enables us to get distinct x-ray peaks at different angles, which allows us to cover large number of angle in one shot. By using this setup, 1s2s (3)S1 - 1s(2) (1)S0 M1 transition in He-like Fe has been resolved from its satellite line 1s2s2p ⁴P(5/2)⁰ - 1s(2)2s (2)S(1/2) M2 transition in Li-like Fe and measured the lifetime of their respective upper levels with high precision.
