Description
The Canadian Rare-isotope facility with Electron Beam ion source (CANREB) is currently being commissioned at TRIUMF in Vancouver, Canada. CANREB can accept stable or rare isotope beams from the existing ISAC facility, or from the Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL) in the future. The incoming beams are pulsed using an RFQ cooler/buncher, and energy adjusted using a pulsed drift tube for injection into an EBIS. The EBIS is designed for a maximum electron beam current of 1 A with up to a 6 T magnetic field. The charge breeder can accept singly charged ions at energies up to 14 keV, which will be charge bred to m/q < 7. The extracted charge-bred beam will be separated using a Nier-type spectrometer, followed by transport to ISAC for post-acceleration to experiments. Results from initial EBIS commissioning, as well as an overall status report on CANREB, will be presented.
