EUV emission spectra from vacuum sparks and those in this work. • Emission spectra from vacuum sparks show qualitatively good agreements with those in the charge exchange spectroscopy. • This finding indicates that the charge exchange spectroscopy is very useful technique to analyze radiation from plasmas. • The reason of this agreement must be investigated much further.
