	Funding: Work supported by Michigan State University (MSU) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) 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 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.
