Diagnostics of highly charged plasmas with multicomponent 1+ ion injection.

We establish multicomponent 1+ injection into a charge breeder electron cyclotron resonance ion source and an associated computational procedure as a noninvasive probe of the electron density n_{e}, average electron energy 〈E_{e}〉, and the characteristic times of ionization, charge exchange, and ion confinement of stochastically heated, highly charged plasma. Multicomponent injection allows refining the n_{e}, 〈E_{e}〉 ranges, reducing experimental uncertainty. Na/K injection is presented as a demonstration.
