The influence of relativistic effects on tunnel ionisation of electronic systems was described in detail by theory. For hydrogen-like ions of atomic charge
To prepare a target of highly charged ions we have devised the HILITE (High-Intensity Laser Ion-Trap Experiment). The setup can store several thousand ions in a controlled ion cloud using a Penning trap. The whole setup is transportable to be used at high-power laser facilities. It includes an Electron-beam ion trap (EBIT) which can create a wide range of highly-charged ions. The produced ion bunches with a kinetic energy of about
To manipulate and detect the stored ion cloud we use common procedures, such as resistive cooling, SWIFT, FT-ICR and the rotating wall technique.
We present the setup and characterisation measurements with stored Ne
