Abstract:
Electron beam ion traps (EBITs) are important and versatile tools to generate
and trap highly charged ions (HCI). EBITs enable spectroscopy with
HCIs and can be used as a source for subsequent experiments.
Two magnetic systems for compact electron beam ion traps have been built
and characterised during this thesis. Additionally, the magnetic field has been
characterised and compared to each other and the simulations, which
were calculated beforehand, as well as to the already existing prototype. The
compact EBIT model has many benefits. With a weight of just over 50 kg
and a lenght of 32 cm, it is small enough to be placed on a table. The magnetic
systems discussed in this thesis are the, so far, strongest permanent
magnetic EBITs existing. Their magnetic field has a maximum of over 0:85 T.
