He?
EDIT: aren't lasers based on excitation rather than ionisation
/not sure

there's the antiprotonic helium ion, (which isn't depicted right there), but it's possible, and there are also helium ions used for microscopy ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_Helium_Ion_Microscope )

would be easier.....
...then allowing electrons "back in", would allow for statistical analyisis.....of how much ionised HE you had...?
[edit: that is, firing your atoms as fast as you like, using carefully placed magnets to strip the outer shells. Then, re-gain the momentum, and do the same for the inner shells.
Keep going, modifying teh magnetic fields as you go, until you end up with nucleii only. Then.....oh crhist, what the fuck am I talking about? g'night b3ta]
