Abstract :
Work is continuing on the development of an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) which could be used as part of a new heavy ion injector for RHIC. On a test EBIS, we have operated with an electron beam current of up to 1.14 A, and have extracted ions such as Tl41+, Xe 26+, Ar14+, N7+, and Na7+. Recent experimental results are reported. In addition, we discuss plans for a new electron beam test stand that is now being built. This will allow operation with electron currents of 10 A, as well as testing of a warm-bore superconducting magnet system, methods for fast extraction of ions, and possible off-axis collection of the electron beam
