The BEARS project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is developing the capability for some proton-rich radioactive beams using a coupled-cyclotron method. Initial studies have focused on /sup 11/C and /sup 14/O and the first physics experiment is complete using /sup 11/C in batch mode. Ionization efficiencies have been measured as high as 11% for /sup 11/C/sup +4/. The total efficiency for ionization and acceleration is approximately 1% and total beam intensities of 1/spl times/10/sup 8/ have been observed. Upon completion of the transfer line, beam intensities of 2/spl times/10/sup 8/ are expected for /sup 11/C and 5/spl times/10/sup 6/ for /sup 14/O.
