The upper horizontal part of the beamline is located on the ground floor, while the superconducting magnet is located in a dedicated laboratory in the basement. The TIP-EBIT is an electron beam ion trap specifically designed for very small samples sizes 21 . Following the TIP-EBIT in the horizontal beamline, a Bradbury-Nielsen gate is used to separate a single charge state. HCIs produced in the TIP-EBIT are guided through the electrostatic beamline to the stack of five identical Penning traps in the superconducting magnet. Deceleration electrodes with appropriately timed voltage pulses are used to capture the HCIs in the Penning traps. A more detailed view of the Penning-trap stack is shown on the right.
