- The Penning trap mass spectrometer SMILETRAP is designed for precision mass measurements using the merits of highly charged ions. In this paper we describe the feature of SMILETRAP and give examples of mass measurements involving , , and ions. These emphasize the importance of accurate masses of hydrogen-like and lithium-like ions that are required in the evaluation of g-factor measurements of electrons bound to even–even nuclei and test of QED effects. Highly precise mass measurements can also be used for testing atomic structure calculations and determining atomic binding energies. Relevance of such measurements throughout the periodic system is discussed.

A compact time-resolving pepperpot emittance meter for low-energy highly charged ions

- An emittance meter for pulsed, low-energy ion beams was developed. Based on the pepperpot method, the device is compact and portable. It has been installed at the S-EBIT Laboratory at AlbaNova, Stockholm University, to measure the emittance of highly charged ions extracted from the electron beam ion trap R-EBIT and the cooling trap of the high-precision Penning trap mass spectrometer SMILETRAP II. Using a fast delay-line anode detector, the emittance and time-of-flight of the extracted ions can be measured simultaneously. In this paper, design and data processing system are described and preliminary results are presented.

Evaporative Cooling and Coherent Axial Oscillations of Highly Charged Ions in a Penning Trap

- Externally, in an electron beam ion trap, generated Ar16+ ions were retrapped in a Penning trap and evaporatively cooled in their axial motion. The cooling was observed by a novel extraction technique based on the excitation of a coherent axial oscillation which yields short ion bunches of well-defined energies. The initial temperature of the ion cloud was decreased by a factor of more than 140 within 1 s, while the phase-space density of the coldest extracted ion pulses was increased by a factor of up to about 9.

Optimization of the Stockholm R-EBIT for the production and extraction of highly charged ions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We describe a refrigerated EBIT (R-EBIT) commissioned at the AlbaNova Research Center at Stockholm University. As an innovative solution, the superconducting magnet and the trapping drift tubes of the R-EBIT are cooled to a temperature of 4 K by a set of two cooling heads connected to helium compressors. This dry, i.e. liquid helium and liquid nitrogen free, system is easily operated and creates highly charged ions at a fraction of the cost of traditional liquid-cooled systems. A pulsed and continuous gas injection system was developed to feed neutral particles into the electron beam in the trap region. This improves significantly the highly charged ion production and R-EBIT performance. Fast extraction of ions from the R-EBIT yields very short ( < 100 ns), charge-separated ion bunches which can be either analysed using a straight time-of-flight section or sent to experimental beam lines following selection in a bending magnet. An emittance meter was used to measure the emittance of the ions extracted from the R-EBIT. The extracted ions were also re-trapped in a cylindrical Penning trap and properties of the re-trapped ions have been measured using the emittance meter. Results of these measurements are reported in this publication.

Re-trapping and cooling of highly-charged

- Presently, a trapping system for cooling highly-charged ions (HCI) is being set up at AlbaNova at Stockholm University. The experiment aims at production of low temperature (emittance) HCI at very low energy. HCI are extracted from the new Stockholm EBIT (S-EBIT) before evaporative cooling is applied in a Penning trap. In the future the cooled ions will be injected into the precision trap of the high-precision mass spectrometer SMILETRAP II. In first tests the emittance of trapped ions was measured and it was shown that highly and low-charged ions could be simultaneously stored

- The new Penning trap mass spectrometer SMILETRAP II has been set up at the AlbaNova Research Center, Stockholm. Based on the former spectrometer SMILETRAP I, it uses the merits of highly-charged ions to achieve high precision in the mass measurements. Various improvements over the SMILETRAP I setup will allow to routinely perform mass measurements with relative uncertainties of 10−10 and below. In this paper we will discuss the limitations of SMILETRAP I and present the corresponding improvements of SMILETRAP II. An overview on the SMILETRAP II setup is given.
