essential in bright extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) plasma-light sources for next-generation
nanolithography, but their complex electronic structure is an open challenge for both theory
and experiment. We combine optical spectroscopy of magnetic dipole M 1 transitions, in a
wavelength range covering 260 to 780 nm, with charge-state selective ionization in an
electron beam ion trap. Our measurements confirm the predictive power of ab initio …
