The Coupled Cyclotron Facility (CCF) at Michigan State University (MSU) has been used to produce rare isotope beams for more than a decade. Ions produced by an ECR source are accelerated using two superconducting cyclotrons in tandem with a stripper foil in between to boost their charge state. After the second cyclotron, a target and a fragment separator produce and select the rare isotope beam that is sent to the different experimental vaults. A gas stopper can be used to thermalize the beam before sending it to a low energy experimental area or to a charge breeder before the ReA re-accelerator. The D-line project includes a mass separator after the gas stopper and several beam transfer lines that connect it to the low energy experiments and to the charge breeder. In this paper, we will describe the project and give an update of its status including the results of the commissioning.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is currently in the preliminary design phase at Michigan State University (MSU). FRIB consists of a driver linac for the acceleration of heavy ion beams, followed by a fragmentation target station and a ReAccelerating facility (RεA). While FRIB is expected to start commissioning in 2017, the first stage of RεA called ReA3 is already under commissioning and was coupled to the Coupled Cyclotron Facility in 2012. Once FRIB is completed RεA will continue operation as post-accelerator facility for FRIB. RεA consists of a gas stopper, an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) charge state booster, a room temperature radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ), a LINAC using superconducting quarter wave resonators, and an achromatic beam transport and distribution line to a new experimental area. An overview of the facility will be discussed. In particular, this talk will focus on the technical progress and commissioning results using pilot beams from the off-line ion source and charge bred beams from the online EBIT injector.
