Highly charged ions (HCIs) increase the number of optical transitions that can be probed with optical-clock-like accuracy, they are particularly interesting for isotope shift measurements and King plot analyses [1]. In our experiment, we extract HCIs from an electron-beam ion trap (EBIT) and transfer them through a beamline to a linear Paul trap where they are recaptured and sympathetically cooled by laser-cooled Be+ ions. and We have subsequently performed quantum logic spectroscopy on a HCI-Be+ two-ion crystal [2]. We are currently evaluating the systematic uncertainties of our 40Ar13+ clock in order to determine the isotope shift between 40Ar13+ and 36Ar13+ with sub-Hz accuracy. Since Ca14+ offers many stable isotopes for a King plot analysis, we will extend the isotope shift measurements afterwards to this species, for which loading into an EBIT from a solid target was recently demonstrated, and a clock laser system is under construction.
