Abstract This analysis extends the previously published study of effect a nonadiabatic magnetic field on electron beam for different currents. Specifically, it presents 2-dimensional maps relative amplitudes radial oscillations in space defined by strengths and As before, gun drift region are immersed uniform to avoid distorting cyclotron motion.

Abstract At REXEBIS, a higher electron current density accelerates charge breeding and allows for increased repetition rate ion throughput of the REX-ISOLDE system, while also extending physics reach towards very short-lived radioactive ions. This goal was pursued by introducing non-adiabatic gun. Since then, further characterization experiments have been carried out, focusing on reaching high states light ions, such that closed-shell configuration with exceptionally efficiency is attained,...

Two electron lenses ($e$-lenses) have been in operation during the 2015 RHIC physics run as part of a head-on beam-beam compensation scheme. While lattice was chosen to reduce beam-beam-induced resonance-driving terms, reduced tune spread. This has demonstrated for first time. The scheme allows higher parameters and therefore intensities luminosity. In this paper, we detail design considerations verification beam $e$-lenses. Longitudinal transverse alignments with ion beams transfer function...
