N2 - The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU) is currently constructing the new rare isotope reaccelerator facility, ReA3. The new facility will provide unique low-energy rare isotope beams by stopping fast rare isotopes in gas stopping systems, boosting the charge state in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) and reaccelerating them in a compact superconducting linac [1,2,3]. The rare isotope beams will be produced initially by the existing Coupled Cyclotron Facility (CCF) at NSCL and later by Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), currently being designed at MSU [4]. The ReA3 accelerator system consists of a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a room temperature RFQ and a superconducting linac utilizing superconducting quarter wave resonators. An achromatic High Energy Beam Transport and distribution beam lines towards the new ReA3 experimental area will deliver the reaccelerated rare isotope beams to the multiple target station. Beams from ReA3 will range from 3 MeV/u for heavy nuclei such as uranium to about 6 MeV/u for ions with A<50. The commissioning of the EBIT, RFQ and two cryomodules of the linac is currently underway. The accelerator system design and status of commissioning of ReA3 and future plan will be presented.
