Funding: Supported by the BMBF and Helmholtz International Center for FAIR The facility for antiproton and ion research - FAIR - will produce secondary beams of unprecedented intensities [1]. In order to produce such intense secondary beams and to provide intense beams for the CBM [2] and APPA [3] collaboration, primary heavy ion beams of highest intensities will be required. The main driver accelerator of FAIR will be the SIS100 synchrotron. The GSI heavy ion accelerator facility will be the injector of ion beams for SIS100. In order to reach the final intensities above 1011 ions per cycle, the injector chain has to be modified accordingly and the SIS100 has to be tailored to the needs. Therefore an intensity upgrade program of the GSI accelerator facility has been started, which comprises improvements of ion sources, of the injector linacs and of the heavy ion synchrotron SIS18. In addition, high energy beam transport and the SIS100 need to have a dedicated design, in order to handle beam losses. The issues of the upgrade programme and of the SIS100 design will be addressed.

The SIS 100 synchrotron as part of the FAIR project at GSI will accelerate various beam species from proton to uranium. An important issue is to minimize uncontrolled beam losses using a collimation system. An application of the two-stage collimation concept, well established for proton accelerators, is considered for the fully-stripped ion beams. The two-stage system consists of a primary collimator (a scattering foil) and secondary collimators (bulky absorbers). The main tasks of this study are:

WEO3C06 | Understanding Ion Induced Radiation Damage in Target Materials | target, ion, radiation, controls | 476 |

Successful operation of next generations of radioactive beam facilities depends on the target survival in conditions of intense radiation field and thermo-mechanical solicitations induced by the driving ion beam. Material property degradation due to ion- beam induced damage will limit target lifetime, either by affecting target performance or, by reducing the material resilience. Similar problems are faced by beam protection elements at LHC. Understanding the mechanism of radiation damage induced by ion beam in these materials provides valuable knowledge for lifetime prediction and for the efforts to mitigate performance degradation. On their way through the target material, energetic heavy ions induce a trail of ionizations and excitations, resulting in formation of ion tracks consisting of complex defect structures. We give a review on the ion-induced damage creation in high power target materials, on the structural and thermo-mechanical property degradation and on their recovery in high temperature irradiation experiments. | |||
