Experimental apparatus for the study of photoabsorption processes of multiply charged ions by synchrotron radiation

Abstract

Photon-ion merged-beam apparatus using a compact ECR ion source and a high-brilliance light source has been designed for the study of photoabsorption processes of multiply charged ions. Photoion spectroscopy will be performed along isoelectronic, isonuclear and isoionic sequences. The main features of this apparatus are described.
