The Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) is the only national user facility for low-energy stable heavy ion beams. With the recent commissioning of the Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU), ATLAS will also be used to accelerate radioactive beams. We here propose to convert ATLAS into a multi-user facility by simultaneously accelerating stable beams from the ECR ion source and radioactive beams from an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) charge breeder under development for CARIBU. Radioactive beams produced from EBIS will contain several charge states of the same isotope, and could be injected into ATLAS in short (~10 μs) pulses. We propose modifications of the existing ATLAS low energy beam transport line that will enable the simultaneous injection and acceleration of one or more charge states from EBIS and a stable ion beam from the ECR. Beam dynamics simulations using the code TRACK confirmed the feasibility of these modifications. The realization of this concept will increase the available beam time, the intensity of radioactive beams and improve the quality of the delivered beams as well.
