  abstract     = {{TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN) facility has the only on-line mass measurement Penning trap (MPET) at a radioactive beam facility that uses an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) to enhance mass precision and resolution. EBITs can charge breed exotic isotopes, making them highly charged, thereby improving the precision of atomic mass measurement as the precision scales linearly with the charge state. However, ion bunches charge bred in the EBIT can have larger energy spread, which poses challenges for mass measurements. A cooler Penning trap (CPET) is currently being developed off-line at TITAN to sympathetically cool the highly charged ions (HCI) with a co-trapped electron plasma, prior to their transport to the MPET. To evaluate the integration of the CPET into the TITAN beamline and to optimize the beam transport, ion trajectory simulations were performed. Hardware upgrades motivated by these simulations and previous test measurements were applied to the off-line CPET setup. Ions and electrons were co-trapped for the first time with the CPET. Progress and challenges on the path towards HCI cooling and integration with the on-line beam facility are presented}},
