Abstract
A new crossed beam experimental setup has been built for the study of electron impact ionization of multiply charged ions. The animated beam method has been applied. Sweeping irregularities and fluctuations of the beam intensities are taken into account. The electron gun is swept mechanically by means of a stepping motor. The energy range extends c ontinuously from 20 eV to 6 keV. Results are reported for single and d ouble ionization of Ar8+. The luminosity is seen to be of the order of 5 X 10(20) Hz/cm(2). The global performance of the present apparatus is compared with the one of similar devices.
