Research abstract
Future electron-ion colliders for nuclear physics research require cooled ion beams to reach the desired luminosity for important experiments. Xelera Research LLC will design a magnetized electron injector and build a prototype source to be used to cool ion beams for future electron-ion colliders in the US.
