Abstract
Low-energy multiply charged ions of molybdenum have been produced and stored using a novel technique which combines laser ablation and ion storage. The charge states range from q=+1 to q=+6. The energy of these ions is estimated to be less than 5x10-3eV/amu with the storage time of one second. The number of stored ions is about 105. These findings suggest that we can now study the slow processes of low energy multiply charged ions of most elements.
