Abstract

AbstractThe Dresden EBIT, a source of highly charged ions, is based on electron impact ionization of primarily neutral atoms in a high‐density electron beam. Inside the source x‐radiation originates from direct excitation, radiative recombination and dielectronic recombination processes. Since the energy of the exciting electrons is tunable, specific atomic states can be prepared for particular investigations. The intensity of the x‐ray flux allows the realization of energy‐ and wavelength‐dispersive x‐ray spectrometry of highly charged ions. Spectra of helium‐ and hydrogen‐like titanium and zinc ions are shown as examples. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
