Description

The Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) is a new instrument for the study of X-rays produced by very-highly-charged ions when they interact with free electrons. This paper describes some of the design and physics features of EBIT. We include a report of the progress in the measurement of the electron beam density and energy variance and a description and results of using open-quotes evaporative coolingclose quotes of the ions. We review some of the measurements of dielectronic recombination in Ni26+ and Au69+, electron impact excitation in Ba46+ and Au69+, precision spectroscopy of hydrogen-like nickel and measurement of relative line intensities for use in plasma diagnostics in Ba46+
