Description
Summary:Beam–foil extreme-ultraviolet survey spectra of Ge (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>Z</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>32</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) are presented. The data have been garnered at the performance limit of the heavy-ion accelerator available, with a correspondingly limited statistical and calibrational reliability. However, the Ge spectra have been recorded at various delays after excitation, and this technique points to a possible blind spot in some other spectroscopic techniques, and thus in the literature coverage. A similarly patchy coverage can be noted in various atomic structure computations. The experimental and theoretical gaps seem to be correlated.
