Funding: Supported by the BMBF and state of Hessen The accelerators of the facility for Antiproton and Ion Research – FAIR are designed to deliver stable and rare isotope beams covering a huge range of intensities and beam energies. The ion and antiproton beams for the experiments will have highest beam quality for cutting edge physics to be conducted within the four research pillars CBM, NuSTAR, APPA and PANDA. The challenges of the accelerator facility to be established are related to the systems comprising magnets, cryo technology, rf-technology, vacuum etc. FAIR will employ heavy ion synchrotrons for highest intensities, antiproton and rare isotope production stations, high resolution separators and several storage rings where beam cooling can be applied. Intense work on test infrastructure for the huge number of superconducting magnets of the FAIR machines is ongoing at GSI and several partner labs. In addition, the GSI accelerator facility is being prepared to serve as injector for the FAIR accelerators. As the construction of the FAIR facility and procurement has started, an overview of the designs, procurements status and infrastructure preparation will be provided. |

| THPME004 | Further R&D for a New Superconducting CW Heavy Ion Linac@GSI | 3211 |
|
||
| A low energy beam line (1.4 MeV/u) behind the GSI High Charge State Injecor will provide cw-heavy ion beams with high beam intensity. It is foreseen to build a new cw-heavy ion-linac for post acceleration up to 7.3 MeV/u. In preparation an advanced R&D program is defined: The first linac section (financed by HIM and partly by HGF-ARD-initiative) comprising a sc CH-cavity embedded by two sc solenoids will be tested in 2014/15 as a demonstrator. After successful testing the construction of an advanced cryomodule comprising four rf cavities is foreseen. As an intermediate step towards an entire cw-linac the use of a double of two CH-cavities is planned: Ashort 5 cell cavity should be mounted directly behind the demonstrator cavity inside a short cryostat. The design of the cw linac based on shorter sc CH-cavities would minimize the overall technical risk and costs. Besides with this cavity an optimized operation of the whole linac especially with respect to beam quality could be achieved. Last but not least the concept of continuous energy variation applying phase variation between the two cavities with constant beta profile could be tested. | ||

| THPME006 | Straight Injection of an intense Uranium Beam into the GSI High Current RFQ | 3217 |
|
||
| A dedicated high current uranium ion source and LEBT will be built at the GSI High Current Injector (HSI), to fulfil the intensity requirements for FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research at Darmstadt). This new injection line will be integrated into the existing complex which already comprises two branches. The new LEBT is designed as a straight injection line without dipole magnet, i.e. without dispersive charge state separation. All uranium charge states, coming from the ion source, are transported to the heavy ion high current GSI-HSI-RFQ. Only the design charge state U4+ is accelerated to the final RFQ energy. The new LEBT design is based on beam emittance and current measurements behind the existing ion source. Beam dynamics simulations have been performed with the codes TRACE-3D (envelopes), DYNAMION, BEAMPATH and TRACK (multiparticle). The recent layout of the LEBT, as well as the results of beam dynamics studies are presented. | ||

| THPME007 | A Virtual Charge State Separator as an Advanced Tool Coupling Measurements and Simulations | 3220 |
|
||
| A new Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) for multi-charge uranium beam will be built at GSI High Current Injector. All uranium charge states coming from the new ion source will be injected into GSI heavy ion high current HSI-RFQ, but only design ions U4+ will be accelerated to the final RFQ energy. A detailed knowledge about injected beam- current and -emittance for pure design U4+ ions is necessary for a proper beam line design commissioning and operation, while the measurements are possible only for a full beam including all charge states. Detailed measurements of beam current and emittance are performed behind the first quadrupole triplet at the beam line. A dedicated algorithm, based on combination of measurements and results of an advanced beam dynamics simulations, provides for an extraction of beam- current and -emittance for only U4+ component of a beam. The obtained results and final beam dynamics design for the new straight beam line are presented. | ||
