Abstract
Plasmas provided the first information on ions. Spectra measured with high precision yielded their level structure and they continue to do as our knowledge, especially of multiply ionized heavy atoms, is poor [482].
Well diagnosed plasmas allow the verification of theoretical atomic data as well as the measurement of data not yet accessible by other techniques. Self-consistency among data obtained by a larger number of studies under different plasma conditions offers an additional route to assess the reliability.
