The physics of electron beam ion sources

  • 1. J.R. Macdonald Lab., Kansas State Univ., Manhattan (USA)

Description

There are 14 electron beam ion sources in operation which produce highly charged ions, up to Th80+ and Xe53+. Most of the sources are used to study these ions either in situ under electron impact or when recombining with external gaseous or solid targets. That provides an insight into the atomic physics of these highly charged ions. This paper reviews the present knowledge of atomic processes, important in the production of such ions with an EBIS.
