Charge breeding is achieved by means of a device capable of increasing the ion charge state from 1+ to a desired value n+. In some experiments, a continuous RIB of a given energy may be required. To reach this goal, a charge breeding device based on a hollow gun EBIS (electron beam ion source) has been proposed by the author recently. That EBIS, in principle, can be capable to realize a CW (continuous wave) operation. A sufficiently high focusing magnetic field could reduce to zero the hole radius in the EBIS electron beam.
