EBIT trapping program
The LLNL electron beam ion trap provides the world's only source of stationary highly charged ions up to bare U. This unique capability makes many new atomic and nuclear physics experiments possible.
First Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance signals of very highly charged atomic ions
We report on the first application of Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry to the very highly charged ions produced in the high-energy electron beam ion trap (SuperEBIT) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Initial results are described, and spectra are presented from ions as highly charged as Cs53+.
Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry — A new tool for measuring highly charged ions in an electron beam ion trap
Abstract Fourier transform-ion cyclotron mass spectrometry has been applied to the study of highly charged ions produced and confined in an electron beam ion trap. Measurements of the relative ion abundance of hydrogenlike and bare krypton ions were made and compared to the abundance ratios determined with standard X-ray techniques. Good agreement was found establishing the reliability of the method as a new tool in highly charged ion research.
