This paper reviews some of the fundamental properties of highly charged ions, the methods
of producing them (with particular emphasis on table-top devices), and their use as a tool for …

Beta decay of highly charged ions has attracted much attention in recent years. An obvious
motivation for this research is that stellar nucleosynthesis proceeds at high temperatures …

We present the results of an experimental study of magnetic dipole (M 1) transitions in highly
charged argon ions (Ar x, Ar xi, Ar xiv, Ar xv) in the visible spectral range using an electron …

TITAN (TRIUMF's Ion Traps for Atomic and Nuclear science) is a novel online facility for high-
precision mass measurements on short-lived isotopes. TITAN is the only such facility that …

Recent progress in the study of the photon emission from highly charged heavy ions is
reviewed. These investigations show that high-Z ions provide a unique tool for improving the …

Spectra in the extreme ultraviolet range from 107 to 353 Å emitted from Fe ions in various
ionization stages have been observed at the Heidelberg electron beam ion trap (EBIT) with …

Electron beam driven ionization can produce highly charged ions (HCIs) in a few well-
defined charge states. Ideal conditions for this are maximally focused electron beams and …

Methods of VUV electron beam ion trap (EBIT) spectroscopy are applied to the study of Pm-
like tungsten (W13+). These data show that theory appears well capable of dealing with …

We have built, operated, and characterized a compact ion source for low-energy bunches of
singly charged atomic ions in a vacuum beam line. It is based on atomic evaporation from an …

Extreme ultraviolet spectra of highly-charged ytterbium ions produced in an electron beam
ion trap at the National Institute of Standards and Technology were observed with a flat-field …
