|
The electron beam ion trap (EBIT) is a small-scale laboratory instrument which uses a tightly focused and energy-tunable electron beam to create, trap, and probe highly charged ions. Date from the EBIT yields accurate wavelengths of these ions, which are used to interpret spectra from the Chandra X-ray satellite and the FUSE ultraviolet satellite.

The CfA is purchasing a Refrigerated EBIT from Physics
& Technology, similar to this one at the Univ of
Stockholm. This facility will be dedicated to astrophysics
experiments. | ||
