Highly charged ions of unstable isotopes are required for two new projects at the Heidelberg electron beam ion trap (HD-EBIT): (i) Within the framework of the ECHo collaboration the Penning-trap experiment PENTATRAP aims to measure the masses of 163Ho and 163Dy to high precision [1,2]. The Q-value of the electron capture process in 163Ho obtained in this way is an important input for the determinations of the electron neutrino mass. (ii) The lightest unstable element, technetium, was observed in S-type stars in 1952 already and was an important piece of evidence for nucleosynthesis [3]. Presently, spectroscopic data of highly charged technetium is required to further improve our understanding of stellar evolution and dynamics.
For the production of the required ions, the unstable isotopes need to be efficiently injected into HD-EBIT. To this end a wire probe injector [4] is currently under development, first results will be presented.
