The process of associating spectral peaks in emission radiation data with particular charge states of specific elements is a common task in
the field of plasma diagnostics in both laboratory and astrophysical settings.

In C-2W (also called “Norman”), beam-driven field reversed configuration plasmas embedded in a magnetic mirror are produced and
sustained in a steady state.
