Using relativistic configuration-interaction (RCI) atomic structure code developed by Kagawa [1-4], we have carried out simulation for spectra emitted from Sn ions from 9+ to 14+ charge state and Xe ions from 8+ to 13+ in the extreme ultra-violet (EUV) wavelength range including 13.5nm. In the simulation it is assumed that each ion is imbedded in a LTE plasma, where population in an excited state of ions is obtained by assuming that the electron temperature is 30 eV for all plasmas under consideration. Relative intensity of each line in an ion was estimated as a product of a gA value for the electric dipole optical transition and a population in an upper state for the transition. When making simulated spectra for an ion, the wavelength range is divided into narrow intervals of 0.5 nm and total line intensity for each wavelength interval is obtained as a sum of the intensities for the E1 transitions whose transition wavelength is included in the interval.
