Popis: We describe our newly modified beam line and present its performance in conjunction with the National Institute of Standards and Technology electron-beam ion trap. We find that, contrary to previously reported results from similar ion sources, the highest intensity time-averaged ion fluxes are achieved by letting the ions boil out of the trap in a continuous stream rather than periodically dumping the trap to produce a pulsed beam. We produced continuous beams of 3.0(6)×106 Xe44+ ions per second and lower flux beams of charge states up to Xe49+. Also, in pulsed mode, we created beams with very high peak flux, over 1010 Xe44+ ions per second.
