Abstract

In this paper, we show that high-precision x-ray line measurements with a double-crystal spectrometer (DCS) on the plasma of an electron cyclotron resonance ion source can provide an experimental method for the determination of the natural line widths of the measured transitions. This goal can be achieved with full characterization of the response function of the used DCS with the help of a very narrow x-ray line in helium-like argon and a simulation code fully describing the geometry of the source and the DCS.
