"The capture of ions in an Electron Beam Ion Trap has been modelled by calculating single ion trajectories and using Monte Carlo techniques to simulate the charge state evolution. By systematically changing the initial conditions of the ion, acceptance of the Electron Beam Ion Trap as a function of the emittance of the injected ion beam has been determined. Different Electron Beam Ion Trap configurations have been studied with the goal to find systems offering both high acceptance and short breeding times into the highest charge states. The results will be used in the design of an Electron Beam Ion Trap charge breeder which will be the first stage of a reaccelerator for rare isotope beams presently under construction at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL)"--Abstract.
