Abstract
The authors have developed a method to produce a microbeam of slow highly charged ions based on a self-organized charge-up inside a tapered glass capillary. A transmission of beam through the capillary long with inlet/outlet inner diameters was observed stably for more than . The transmitted beam had the same size as the outlet with a beam density enhancement of approximately 10 and a divergence of . The initial beam was guided through a capillary tilted by as large as , and it still kept the incident charge.
