Highly Efficient Dynamic Capture of Ion Bunches into a Penning Trap for high-intensity Laser Experiments — •Markus Kiffer1, Stefan Ringleb1, Sugam Kumar3, Manuel Vogel2, Gerhard Paulus1, Wolfgang Quint2,5, and Thomas Stöhlker1,2,4 — 1Friedrich-Schiller-Universität, Jena — 2GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt — 3Inter-University Accelerator Centre, New Delhi — 4Helmholtz-Institut Jena, Jena — 5Ruprecht Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Heidelberg
Highly-charged ions are an ideal candidate to investigate matter-light interactions. In particular, hydrogen-like systems provide a single active electron in a well-defined 1s state. For ions, such as O7+ or Ne9+, the mean electric field intensity of the nucleus is on the order of 1020 W/cm2, which is in the range of high-intensity laser systems. This presents the opportunity to measure relativistic tunnel ionisation or HHG generation in highly charged ions.
We present the status of the HILITE (High-Intensity Laser Ion-Trap Experiment) Penning trap experiment. HILTE provides a well-defined ion target for experiments at external laser facilities. The setup includes an ion source that creates bunches of various ions species. These bunches are transported by a beamline and captured dynamically into a Penning trap. We will show results of highly efficient ion bunch capture as well as ion cloud manipulation techniques to provide a high-density ion target. We will also introduce the scientific case of our next planned beamtime at the JETI200 laser facility in Jena.
