A new laser ion source (LIS) for low charge state ion production was installed on RHIC-EBIS. This is the first LIS to be combined with an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) type heavy ion source. The LIS provides intense low charge state ions from any solid state material, with low emittance and narrow pulse length. These features make it suitable as an external source of 1+ ions that can be injected into the EBIS trap for charge breeding. In addition, a LIS is the only type ion source which can allow rapid switching among many ion species, even on pulse-by-pulse basis, by changing either laser path or target position, to strike the material of choice. The EBIS works as a charge breeder, with the extracted high charge state ions used in the following accelerators. The beams from LIS will be used for RHIC and NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) at BNL. The rapid beam switching, which was not possible with existing ion sources, will expand the research field at NSRL as a galactic cosmic ray simulator. The results of commissioning will be shown.
