EBIT: An Electron Beam Source for the Production and Confinement of Highly Ionized Atoms

  • Chapter
Advanced Technologies Based on Wave and Beam Generated Plasmas

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 67))

Abstract

Highly ionized atoms can be conveniently produced by an electron beam in an EBIT device. We give a survey on the technical operation, the physical principles involved in production and confinement of the ions, and the possible applications in atomic and plasma physics.
