The properties and spectrum of the highly charged tungsten ions draw more and more attention, due to its potential application in the next generation fusion reactor. The transition wavelength and rate of the magnetic-dipole transition between the levels of the ground configuration of W53+ ion in the range of 10 − 20 nm were calculated by Dirac–Fock–Slater (DFS) method with a local central potential and Multi-Configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) method, respectively. The results are consistent with the previous EBIT experimental data and other theoretical data. A collisional-radiative model was constructed, and the spectrum of magnetic-dipole transition of W53+ ion observed on EBIT (Y. Ralchenko et al., Phys. Rev. A. 83 , 032517, 2011) was reproduced theoretically. Another two new transitions near the wavelength of 16.683 nm and 18.018 nm are also assigned to the M1 transition of W53+ ion. • The EBIT spectrum of W53+ ion was reproduced and analyzed by CRM with accurate atomic data. • The new M1 transition between the ground configuration of W53+ ions were assigned to the experimental spectrum. • The MCDHF transition wavelength was used instead of DFS results to get better agreement with the experiments.
