We investigate the collisional radiative (CR) model of tin and heavier elements, to accurately predict their EUV emission spectrum to have a useful tool for the optimization of the source to obtain high output power and efficiency at 13.5 nm, as well as in 6 – 7 nm region. Although, tin and heavy elements have a complex atomic structure and the emission occurs through a large number of fine structure transitions, their observed spectrum usually consists of few broad peaks, which are attributed to 4d-4f, 4p-4d, 4d-5p, and 4d-5f transitions. We show a simple representation of their wavelength from the investigation of theoretical and experimental spectrum.
