A hypothetical fifth force between neutrons and electrons could be detected through so-called King plots, where the isotope shifts of two optical transitions are plotted against each other for a series of isotopes. Deviations from the expected linearity could reveal such fifth force. We explore six forbidden transitions in highly charged (HCI) calcium, where some are suited for upcoming high-precision coherent laser spectroscopy. With this number of transitions it is possible to utilize the generalized King plot method, which will remove higher-order SM nonlinearities and thus more sensitivity to unknown forces. Currently further research is conducted in HCI Xe, which has a greater number of isotopes for the King plot.
