In this article, the atomic structure and processes for Al are calculated in details by using the flexible atomic code. With these atomic parameters, the rate equations are established and resolved in order to obtain the level populations. The X ray radiation from Z-pinch Al plasma is then calculated. The experimental spectra are identified in details according to our theoretical results.
