Abstrakt: We observed and analysed the extreme-ultraviolet spectra of highly charged ions of Kr XXI–Kr XXXIV produced in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT). The beam energies varied between 1.1 and 30�keV, and the wavelengths were observed between 3 and 17.3�nm with uncertainties of ∼0.003�nm. Six new lines were identified, and wavelength uncertainties have been improved for twelve additional transitions. It was found that a line intensity ratio for allowed transitions 3s23p–3s23d in Al-like Kr XXIV strongly deviated from predictions based on statistical weighting of the excited levels. Collisional-radiative modelling showed that this effect, which is due to the magnetic-dipole transition within the ground configuration 3s23p, offers sensitive diagnostics of electron density in the regime of interest to fusion tokamaks, EBITs, and other low-density plasmas.
