The investigation of laser-ion interactions in a detailed way, require well-defined ion targets and detection techniques for high-sensitivity measurements of reaction educts and products. To this end, we have designed and built the HILITE (High-Intensity Laser-Ion Trap Experiment) Penning trap setup, which features various ion-target preparation techniques including selection, cooling, compression and positioning as well as destructive and non-destructive measurement techniques to determine the number of stored ions for all charge states individually and simultaneously. Recently, first commissioning experiments of ion deceleration and dynamic ion capture with highly charged ion bunches from an electron beam ion source (EBIT) have been performed. We have characterised our single-pass non-destructive ion counter in detail and were able to determine the ion velocity as well as the number of ions from the signals acquired. Furthermore, storage times inside the trap in the order of minutes could be achieved. We will present the current status as well as proposed first measurements at laser systems.
