Cascade emission in electron beam ion trap plasma of W$^{25+}$ ion

Spectra of the W$^{25+}$ ion are studied using the collisional-radiative model (CRM) with an ensuing cascade emission. It is determined that the cascade emission boosts intensities only of a few lines in the $10 - 3$ nm range. The cascade emission is responsible for the disappearance of structure of lines at about 6 nm in the electron beam ion trap plasma. Emission band at 4.5 to 5.3 nm is also affected by the cascade emission. The strongest lines in the CRM spectrum correspond to $4d^{9} 4f^{4} \rightarrow 4f^{3}$ transitions, while $4f^{2} 5d \rightarrow 4f^{3}$ transitions arise after the cascade emission is taken into account.
