Abstract
The utility of an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) as a source of highly charged ions for laser spectroscopy is discussed, with a view to measuring the 2s Lamb shift in a medium-Z hydrogenlike ion. Such an experiment could shed light on a small but systematic discrepancy between previous measurements and theory.
