At Brookhaven National Labratory the Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) is presently being designed. The EBIS will be a new heavy ion pre-injector for the Realativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The new pre-injector has the potential for significant future intensity increases and can produce heavy ion beams of all species including uranium. The background pressure in the ionization region of the EBIS should be low enough that it does not produce a significant number of ions from background gas. The pressure in the regions of the electron gun and electron collector can be higher than in the ionization region provided there is efficient vacuum separation between the sections. For injection the ions must be accelerated to 100KV by pulsing the EBIS platform. All associated equipment including the vacuum equipment on the platform will be at a 100KV potential. The vacuum system design and the vacuum controls for the EBIS platform and transport system will be discussed as well as the interface with the Booster Ring which has a pressure 10-11 Torr. @FootnoteText@ Work performed under the auspicious of U.S. Department of Energy.
