Notes:
A multipassage magnetic spectrometer has been constructed which allows selection of a specific high charge state from the extracted ion pulse of our electron beam ion source (EBIS) and to reinject it in the emptied source, now using the electron beam of meanwhile changed energy as a target of free electrons for the study of ionization, dielectronic recombination (DR), or radiative electron capture (REC). The spectrometer consists of a H-magnet with round pole pieces and 4 identical arrangements of achromatic lenses and mirrors under 90° forming a versatile ion switchyard with the possibility of recirculation. The chromaticity of the recirculating transport system and the dispersion of this spectrometer are adjustable by electric potentials on suitably placed electrostatic deflectors inside of the magnetic field. For the injection of ions from an external ion source into the EBIS and to the beam lines, the mirror potentials are pulsed accordingly.
