A detailed understanding of the physics of space-charge dominated beams is vital for many advanced accelerators that desire to achieve high beam intensity. In that regard, low-energy, high-intensity electron beams provide an excellent model system. The University of Maryland Electron ring (UMER), currently under construction, has been designed to study the physics of space-charge dominated beams with extreme intensity in a strong focusing lattice with dispersion. At 10-keV, 100 mA, the UMER beam has a generalized perveance in the range of 0.0015. Though compact (11-m in circumference), UMER is a very complex device. In this paper, the unique design features of this research facility, the beam physics to be investigated, and simulation studies are reviewed. ©2001 American Institute of Physics.
