Abstract :
An EBIS (Electron Beam Ion Source) is presently being constructed for use on the Texas A&M cyclotron as an external heavy ion source. This description of the source, which is nearing completion, includes the essential elements, the operating conditions, expected output, and results of initial tests on some of the components.
