An Electron Beam Ion Source charge breeder (EBIS-CB) has been developed to breed CARIBU radioactive beams at ATLAS and is in the final stages of off-line commissioning. Within the next year, the EBIS-CB will replace the existing ECR charge breeder to increase the intensity and improve the purity of reaccelerated radioactive ion beams. Integration of the new EBIS-CB requires: a. Building a compact fully electrostatic low energy beam transport line (LEBT) from CARIBU to the EBIS-CB that satisfies the spatial constraints and ensures the successful ion seeding into the EBIS trap. b. Modifications to the existing ATLAS LEBT to purify the EBIS beams by q/A selection and accommodate the injection of the charge bred ions into ATLAS. In this paper, we will describe the beam line design and present beam dynamics simulation results.

In 2015 an electron beam ion source (EBIS) will be installed at the ATLAS facility to charge breed radioactive beams from the Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU). Currently an ECR ion source is used to charge breed CARIBU beams. The EBIS will provide beams with much less contamination and higher breeding efficiencies. In preparation for its installation at ATLAS the EBIS has been successfully commissioned offline. The EBIS was configured in the offline facility to closely mimic the conditions expected in the ATLAS installation, so commissioning results should be representative of its performance with CARIBU. The EBIS breeding efficiency was tested with pulses of 133Cs1+ from a surface ionization source, and for multiple operational modes maximum breeding efficiencies greater than 25% could be achieved. After transmission losses the total efficiency of the system was 15-20%. The contaminants were expectedly very low for a UHV system with nominal pressures of ~1 – 3 x 10-10 Torr.
