Notes:
The CRYogenic electron beam ion source at Kansas State University has been in operation since spring 1989. It produces up to Ar18+, Kr34+, and Xe44+ on a regular basis. Acceleration tubes and a beamline system were added during 1990. The ion source is mounted on a high voltage platform, which can be used to vary the ion energies between 2 and 200 kV per charge. The extraction-, analyzing-, and beamline systems were designed to accept a wide range of ion masses and charge states with the mass energy product (M⋅E/q2) stretching over four orders of magnitude. The system is used to study the low-energy highly charged ions interacting with electrons, atoms, thin foils, and surfaces.
