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.
Physics of Multiple-Charged Stored Ions
The implementation of the ion-storage technique for the investigation of charge-exchange processes between multiple-charged ions and neutral atoms or molecules is described. The advantages and restrictions are discussed by the example of measurements on doubly and triply charged ions reacting with a neutral gas target or an atomic hydrogen beam.
