A high intensity electron beam ion trap under development at LLNL could be adapted for charge state boosting of radioactive ion beams, enabling a substantial reduction in the size and cost of a post-accelerator. We report estimates of the acceptance, ionization time, charge state distribution, emittance, and beam intensity for charge state boosting of radioactive ions in this device. The estimates imply that, for tin isotopes, over 10{sup 10}&hthinsp;ions/s can be ionized to q=40+ with an absolute emittance of approximately 1 {pi} mm mrad at an energy of 30{times}q&hthinsp;keV. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
