High-resolution x-ray spectrometer for an electron beam ion trap

Abstract
A high‐throughput von Hámos‐type Bragg crystal spectrometer is described that is operated with the Livermore electron beam ion trap. The spectrometer is employed to measure high‐resolution x‐ray spectra from highly charged heliumlike and neonlike ions. Data from heliumlike Ti20+ and Fe24+ and from neonlike Au69+ are presented to demonstrate the utility of the new instrument.
