Terra Watt Accumulator project (ITEP-TWAC) is aiming the accumulation of an ion beam accelerated up to 0.7 GeV/u in a storage ring providing intensity of heavy ions up to 10 power 12 particles per pulse for experiments on heavy ion beam-plasma interaction. For advanced experiments on high energy density physics the hollow cylindrical target is needed. A new method for RF rotation of the ion beam is applied for reliable formation of the hollow cylindrical beam. A principle of fast beam rotation by using a system of the multi-cell RF deflectors is considered in this paper. A four-cell H-mode deflecting cavity operating at the frequency of 298 MHz has been developed; similar 1.5 m long cavities being applied for both x- and y- directions. The shape of the deflecting electrodes has been optimized in order to provide the uniform deflection over the whole aperture taking into account both electric and magnetic components of the RF field. A deflecting system and a focusing quadrupole triplet applied to the beam with the energy of 450 MeV/u and normalized transverse emittance of 10*pi mrad*mm may form the quasi-hollow configuration with the inner radius up to 1.5 mm and thickness of 1 mm.

The central accelerator SIS100 of the FAIR-facility will provide high intensity, intermediate charge state heavy ion beams. In order to assure a reliable operation with the intermediate charge states, a special synchrotron design, including ion catcher system had to be developed. Intermediate charge state heavy ions suffer from high cross sections for ionization. Due to the dedicated synchrotron layout, ions which have been further stripped by collisions with residual gas atoms are not lost uncontrolled onto the beam pipe but are caught by the ion catcher system in the cryogenic arcs. The construction and test of a cryo-catcher prototype at GSI is a workpackage of the EU-FP7 project COLMAT. A prototype catcher including cryostat will be set-up at GSI to perform measurements with heavy ion beams of the heavy ion synchrotron SIS18.
