1. The first facility was built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The Livermore EBIT facility is presently dedicated to atomic spectroscopy. One of the two EBITs previously constructed at Livermore was moved to Berkeley in 2001.
2. The Berkeley EBIT is now used primarily for research with extracted ion beams and has its own web site.
3. The NIST EBIT is equipped both for atomic spectroscopy and for studies with extracted ion beams.
4. The Oxford EBIT facility. (relocated to Shanghai in 2010).
The EBIS (Electron Beam Ion Source) is a very similar device that is used exclusively for the production of highly charged ion beams. EBIS facilities can be found at several locations around the world, including:
