K-shell transitions and especially Kα features are most prominent in active galactic nuclei X-ray spectra. To perform laboratory astrophysics experiments on these processes in iron ions, high fluxes of X-ray photons near 6700eV are required.
We used the transportable Heidelberg electron beam ion trap (FLASH-EBIT) to carry out high resolution resonant X-ray scattering measurements on He- and Li-like iron ions at PETRA III, a new 4th generation synchrotron radiation source.
The undulator beam line P01 which is equipped with a double crystal monochromator provided beams of 1013γ s−1 at 6700eV. With a photon beam resolution of 0.1 eV, the natural line width of electric dipole allowed X-ray transitions and their corresponding energies could be determined.
