First results from the stockholm electron beam ion trap

A new laboratory for highly charged ions is being built up at Stockholm university. An electron beam ion trap (EBIT) (3T magnet, <= 30 keV electron beam) was installed. It is used for spectroscopic studies, precision mass measurements, electron ion collisions, and highly-charged ion surface studies. Here we report about a fast ion-extraction scheme from EBIT and first results using a time-of-flight detection as well as a LABVIEW based operational system of EBIT.
