Abstract :
The radioactive beam experiment (REX-ISOLDE) is now in the commissioning phase. REX-ISOLDE is a pilot experiment for testing a new concept of post acceleration at ISOLDE/CERN. The concept of REX-ISOLDE using a Penning trap-EBIS combination as a charge breeder and a compact linac for post acceleration requires detailed tests of all components in order to get a high efficiency. First measurements with REXTRAP, the transfer beam line and the REXEBIS have been done as well as first acceleration of stable beams from the EBIS with use of REXRFQ
