Abstract
At Brookhaven National Laboratory there is an R&D program to design an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) for use in a compact ion injector to be developed for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The BNL effort is directed at developing an EBIS with intensities of 3/spl times/10/sup 9/ particles/pulse of ions such as Au/sup 35+/ and U/sup 45+/, and requires an electron beam on the order of 10 A. The construction of a test stand (EBTS) with the full electron beam power and 1/3 the length of the EBIS for RHIC is nearing completion. Initial commissioning of the EBTS was made with pulsed electron beams of duration <1 ms and current up to 13 A. Details of the EBTS construction, results of the pulse tests, and preparations for DC electron beam tests are presented.
