Identifying the ns-np resonance lines in alkali-metal-like ions is an important issue in fusion plasma science in the view of spectroscopic diagnostics and radiation power loss. Whereas for n = 2, 3 and 4 these resonances are prominent and well studied, so far no one could clearly identify the resonance lines for n = 5, the so-called promethiumlike sequence.
