The Canadian Rare Isotope facility with Electron Beam ion source (CANREB) is an essential part of the Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL) presently under construction at TRIUMF. CANREB was recently commissioned and can accept stable or rare isotope beams from a variety of ion sources, delivering high purity beams of highly charged ions (HCI) to experiments. The injected beams are bunched using a radiofrequency quadrupole cooler-buncher and energy adjusted using a pulsed drift tube for injection into the electron beam ion source (EBIS) charge state breeder. The EBIS is designed for a maximum electron beam current of 500 mA and a maximum magnetic field of 6 T. Ions with energies up to 14 keV can be injected and HCI with mass-to-charge (A/q) ratios 3 ⩽ A/q ⩽ 7 can be charge bred and extracted. The HCI are A/q-selected using a Nier-type spectrometer before being transported to the ISAC linac for post-acceleration. Results from CANREB beam commissioning with focus on the EBIS will be presented.
