X-ray astrophysics received increasing attention in the last decade, due to the launches of the X-ray observatories Chandra and XMM-Newton. Photoionization (PI) of highly charged ions (HCIs) plays an important role for the interpretation of the spectra obtained. However, established methods for PI investigations either lack of accuracy or are only applicable to ions in low charge state. We present a novel approch, where the ion cloud of an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) with typical target-ion area densities of 1010 ions/cm2 is exposed to Synchrotron radiation. PI of Fe14+ in the photon energy range from 450 to 1100 eV was investigated at BESSY II. A resolving power of up to 6500 and a calibartion limited accuracy of 150 meV were achieved and the feasibility of an absolute cross-section measurement was demonstrated.
