Abstract
The proposed polarized 3He++ acceleration in RHIC and the future Electron-Ion Collider will require about 2×1011 ions in the source pulse. A new technique had been proposed for production of high intensity polarized 3He++ ion beams. It is based on ionization and accumulation of the 3He gas (polarized by metastability-exchange optical pumping and in the 5 T high magnetic field) in the existing Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS). A novel 3He cryogenic purification and storage technique was developed to provide the required gas purity. The status of the Extended EBIS upgrade project is presented.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating
very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and
readers, and in "proceeding" format
which is more detailed and complete.
