Abstract

A new Electron-Beam-Ion-Trap (EBIT) has been installed at the Max Planck Institute of Plasmaphysics Berlin branch. The experimental technique consists in producing and trapping highly charged ions inside the space charge of an electron beam and measuring the emitted x-ray radiation. During the first test phase x-ray spectra of highly charged Ba, W and Ar-ions were observed.
