Reliable atomic data for electron impact ionisation of ions are required for a thorough understanding and modelling of plasmas. This affects a wide range of research fields such as, e. g. astrophysics, space propulsion, EUV-lithography, and fusion research. Recently, a new electron gun has been integrated into the Gießen crossed-beams experiment which permits to extend the measurements to much higher electron energies than before. This electron gun provides a ribbon-shaped electron beam with energies ranging from 10 to 3500 eV [1,2,3]. For a high flexibility, we can choose between different operation modes. Here, we present the latest achievements in the commissioning of this gun as well as new cross-section measurements for multiply charged xenon ions.
