Electron beam ion traps and their applications

Electron beam ion traps and their applications 1 2 first-author 3 The Key Lab of Applied Ion Beam Physics, The Ministry of Education, China; The Key Lab of Applied Ion Beam Physics, The Ministry of Education, China; Modern Physics Institute, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China; Modern Physics Institute, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China; Astronomy Department, Lund University, BOX 43, SE 221 00 Lund, Sweden Astronomy Department, Lund University, BOX 43, SE 221 00 Lund, Sweden A brief introduction to the historical background and current status of electron beam ion traps (EBITs) is presented. The structure and principles of an EBIT for producing highly charged ions are described. Finally, EBITs as a potential tool in hot-plasma diagnostics and in studying frontier problems of highly charged ion physics are discussed.
