Physics of Highly Charged Ions

The 15th International Symposium on Electron Beam Ion Sources and Traps (EBIST 2024) will be held on August 27-30, 2024 at the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, Poland. The EBIST symposium has been held every three to four years since 1977. The previous two symposia took place on October 23-27, 2018 in Shanghai, China and June 14-17, 2022 in Whistler BC, Canada (it was postponed from June 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions). The goal of EBIST 2024 symposium is to discuss the design, development, applications of electron beam ion sources and traps, and the physics with highly charged ions. See https://ebist2024.ujk.edu.pl/ for further details.

EBIST 2024 will cover the following topics:

• Progress and status of EBIS/T facilities
• EBIS/T physics including electron and ion beam optics and related simulations
• EBIS charge state breeder developments and operational experience
• Charge breeding of stable and radioactive isotopes
• Atomic spectroscopy of highly charged ions
• Applications of highly charged ions from EBIS/T
