Abstract
For the case of xenon we show that metastable ions are very suitable for optical experiments on fast ion beams (FIB experiments). It is possible to study the hyperfine structure of spectral lines in absorption from a mass separated ion beam which is exposed to a monomode laser beam. The absorption is detected by observing the fluorescence radiation. As expected, the width of the absorption signals is strongly reduced if laser- and ion-beam are parallel to each other.
