	A beam test stand for the Heidelberg medicine RFQ has been installed at the IAP in Frankfurt. The installation consists of a 8 keV/u H+ duoplasmatron ion source, the 400 keV/u RFQ itself and several diagnostic elements comprising a slit-grid emittance measurement system for scanning the transverse beam profile and a bending magnet for measuring the longitudinal beam properties. The test installation will be described in detail, first measurements will be presented and compared to corresponding beam dynamic simulations.
FRYACH01	HICAT - The German Hospital-Based Light Ion Cancer Therapy Project	290

	At the University Clinics at Heidelberg /Germany the realization of a cancer Therapy facility using light and medium ions (from protons up to oxygen) has started. This facility will be capable to treat about 1000 patients per year by means of the 'intensity controlled rasterscan technique', that has been already successfully applied to about 200 patients since 1998 at the GSI therapy pilot project. The presentation will give an overview of the facility layout and especially the accelerator- and beam transport systems, capable to provide 3 treatment places with light ions between 50 and 430 MeV/u. Two treatment places are located after horizontal beam lines and one after an isocentric gantry. A further horizontal beam line for research and development activities is foreseen. Besides the technical description and the status and schedule for the project realization organizational aspects of this project will be discussed with the project leadership at the University Clinics, the strong technical assistance of GSI and the role of industrial partners.
