This paper describes a scheme for production of very dense rotating E-beams. Such beams appear well suited for use in electron beam ion source (EBIS) machines. The basic idea is to propagate a thick hollow beam (it can be solid) from a magnetron injection gun (MIG) through a magnetic field reversal followed by magnetic compression of the rotating beam. A small MIG systhesis program (TRMIG) was used in the preliminary design calculations and the paper will include descriptive remarks about this code. The paper includes the triple pole piece field reversal element of Scheitrum and True (1981) which has been shown to improve post-reversal beam quality.
