TY - GEN TI - Experimental characterization of the Hitrap Cooler trap with highly charged ions. AV - public ID - heidok15445 Y1 - 2013/// UR - https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/15445/ A1 - Fedotova, Svetlana N2 - The HITRAP (Highly charged Ions TRAP)facility is being set up and commissioned at GSI, Darmstadt. It will provide heavy, highly charged ions at low velocities to high-precision atomic physics experiments. Within this work the Cooler trap- the key element of the HITRAP facility was tested. The Cooler trap was assembled, aligned, and commissioned in trapping experiments with ions from off-line sources.The work performed within the scope of this thesis provided the baseline for further operation and maintenance of the Cooler trap.
