  We generalize the classical single-species Child-Langmuir Law to analyze multi-species beams from ECR ion sources. The formulation assumes the relative weight of each species in the extracted beam is known. We apply the results to charge state distribution data from Artemis- and Venus-type sources at the NSCL and LBNL respectively. The total measured beam current is close to the maximum current predicted by the multi-species Child Langmuir law in each case, which indicates that beam extraction occurs close to space-charge-limited flow conditions. Prospects for application of the results and further studies on the topic are outlined.

The ReA post-accelerator of the National Supercon-ducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University includes an Electron-Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) operating as a charge breeder. The Facility for Rare Iso-tope Beams (FRIB) is being implemented. After comple-tion, rare-isotopes beam rates are expected to exceed in some case 10<sup>10</sup> particles per second (pps). The charge capacity of the ReA EBIT is insufficient to handle those rates. Therefore, parts of the TEST EBIS from the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) were transferred to the NSCL to build a High-Current Electron-Beam Ion Source (HCEBIS). The HCEBIS features an electron gun that can provide a current up to 4 A for an estimated trap charge capacity of 10<sup>11</sup> elementary charges. This paper presents the HCEBIS specifications, electron-beam cur-rent measurements to test its cathode, and simulation results for its implementation in the ReA post-accelerator. It also presents charge-capacity measurements conducted with the ReA EBIT that demonstrate that the HCEBIS will be able to handle beam rates of more than 10<sup>10</sup> pps.
