Transition energies of highly charged ions (HCI) produced in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT), for the purpose of Quantum Electrodynamic (QED) studies.

Transition energies of highly charged ions (HCI) is a topic of interest in atomic physics, that requires high technology plasma sources and precision measurements from dedicated spectrometers. Here is a comparison of reported transitions in the Extreme UV (EUV) and the X-ray spectral regions, for the purpose of Quantum Electrodynamic (QED) analysis. The plasma is produced in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT).
