A super-EBIT may be defined by its ability to ionize even hydrogenlike uranium, requiring an electron energy well above 140 keV. The first super-EBIT has been put into operation at Livermore, operating with electron energies up to 200 keV, the second one is in progress in Tokyo, aiming at 300 keV. A distinctive advantage may be obtained by raising the electron energy from 200{endash}300 to 500 keV, thus reducing the radiative recombination of hydrogenlike heavy ions such as U{sup 91+} and increasing their relative abundance by an order of magnitude. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
