Description
We present designs and plans for a university-scale positron source that can deliver low-emittance beams for experiments [1]. The source is based on a Penning-Malmberg trap. We discuss positron generation and extraction, with specific focus on bunch manipulation at the exit of the trap. We describe some applications of positron beams from the trap.
