Abstract :
The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER), currently under construction, has been designed to study the physics of space-charge dominated beams at extremely large values of the betatron tune shift which exceed those of existing strong-focusing synchrotrons and rings by more than an order of magnitude. In this paper, the unique design features of this research facility, the new beam physics to be investigated, and recent experimental results in the injector prototype as well as simulation studies are reviewed
