Abstract
Low energy multi-charged ions have been produced in Penning ion traps by electron-impact ionization, and as recoil ions from fast, highly-charged heavy ion impact on target gases. Studies of charge transfer from gases and hydrogen atoms to these ions have been completed and are being extended. New multi-charged ion production methods using photoionization by synchrotron radiation, and ionization of atomic beams, are being considered. Certain potential precision spectroscopy measurements on ions stored in radio-frequency traps are also being developed. These new measurements and techniques are expected to be difficult to implement, but may lead to significant advances in the understanding of multi-charged ion collision processes at near-thermal energies, and to spectroscopic precisions not previously possible with high charge states.
