I know there're lots of various particle accelerators, which can accelerate particles to TeV's of energy, but it seems they all work on electrons or nuclei or other elementary of tightly-bound particles.
Is it possible, using current technology, to accelerate lightly-ionized atoms, like e.g. Ca+Ca+ to speeds of the order of 34c34c? If yes, then is it done somewhere? If no, what are limiting factors?
Apart from just possibility to accelerate, would such ions be left intact after acceleration? Or would the accelerating field strip off or considerably excite some of the remaining electrons?
