Abstract Highly charged atoms produced in an electron beam ion trap were stored after the electron beam was turned off by operating the trap in the magnetic trapping mode. Such storage allowed monitoring charge exchange reactions between the stored ions and residual neutral gas present in the trap by X-ray detection. The charge exchange reactions were enhanced by the application of a pulse of neutral gas. The method was exemplified for the case of H-like uranium interacting with neutral neon, where the K-shell X-rays and the series limit for the electron capture of U91+ were observed.
