A high-energy electron beam ion trap for production of high-charge high-Z ions

  • 1. Physics Dept., Lawrence Livermore National Lab., CA (United States)

Description

We have developed a new high-energy electron beam ion trap, the first laboratory source of low-energy, few-electron, high-Z ions. We describe the device and report measurements of its performance, including the electron beam diameter, current density and energy, and measurements of the ionization balance for several high-Z elements in the trap. This device opens up a wide range of possible experiments in atomic physics, plasma physics, and nuclear physics. (orig.)
