Abstract

Conservation of the electronic configuration of ground-state and metastable ions in the capture of an electron from Li(2s) into excited states has been utilised to measure metastable ion beam fractions for multiply charged ions. Results are presented for beams of C²⁺, N²⁺, N³⁺ and O⁴⁺ respectively, which have been produced by means of an ECR ion source.
