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 .

Four-vane RFQ structure with elliptic coupling windows has been originally developed at ITEP for injection into ITEP-TWAC synchrotron/storage ring complex, being lately adapted for RIA project too. As the electrodynamics simulations show, this structure combines the high efficiency with the operating mode stability against asymmetric detuning and electrode misalignment. A considerable reduction of structure diameter due to coupling windows becomes important for low frequency range which is necessary for the heavy ion acceleration. At the same time, the electrode configuration allows the efficient cooling and high duty factor operation. A mechanical design of 81 MHz, 1.6 MeV/u, 6 m long heavy ion RFQ section is discussed. The outer tank is made of two layers, steel and copper, joined by using the thermal diffusion technology. Each electrode is supplied with the alignment mechanism and connected to the tank by the flexible conducting insert. The whole setup is in manufacturing now.
