The present GSI-accelerator complex is foreseen to serve for the future synchrotron SIS100 as an injector for up to 1012 U28+ particles/sec. The High Current Injector of the Unilac was successfully commissioned five years ago. An increase of more than two orders of magnitude in particle number for the heaviest elements in the SIS had to be gained. Since that time many different ion species were accelerated in routine operation. In 2001 a physics experiment used 2×109 Uranium ions per spill. In order to meet this request the MEVVA ion source provided for the first time in routine operation a high intense Uranium beam. The main purpose for the machine development program during the last two years was the enhancement of the intensity for Uranium beams. Different hardware measures and a huge investigation program in all Unilac-sections resulted in an increase of the uranium intensity by a factor of 7. The paper will focus on the measurements of beam quality, as beam emittance and bunch structure for Megawatt-Uranium beams. Additionally the proposed medium- and long-term hardware measures will be described, which should gain in the required uranium intensity to fill the SIS up to the space charge limit.

Within the European Network HITRAP (heavy Ion trap) trapped and cooled higly charged ions up to U92+ will become avilable for a variety of attractive experiments in atomic physics. Heavy ions are produced, accelerated and stripped in the GSI accelerator complex and are stored in the ESR down to 4 MeV/u. To be captured in HITRAP, ions have to be decelerated to energies below 6 keV/u. The decelerator proposed to achieve these energies is a combination of an IH Drift tube cavity operating in the H11(0) mode and a RFQ. The operating frequency is 108.408MHz . The A/q range of the linac is up to 3. A very efficient deceleration by up to 11 MV along the 2.7 m long IH cavity with a rf power of 200kw is achieved by applying the KONUS beam dynamics. The deceleration from 500 A.keV down 6A.keV is provided by a 1.8 m long 4-rod RFQ.The beam dynamics as well as the cavity design of that linac will be described.The decelerator linac will be installed in the reinjection beam line and is being developed in collaboration between GSI and the Frankfurt University .
