GSI, Darmstadt
The FAIR (Facility for Antiprotons and Ions Research) accelerator complex is currently designed and projected at GSI. The unique features of the central machine SIS100, like e.g. the acceleration of high intensity beams of 2.5·1013 protons and 5·1011 Uranium ions, the operation close to the space charge limit leading to a large tune spread and the extreme UHV conditions of the cryogenic system for fast ramped superconducting magnets, make challenging demands on the beam diagnostic components. This contribution describes the general concept of beam diagnostics for FAIR and reports on the present status of prototype studies. Exemplarily the achievements for a novel type of dc transformer, beam position monitors and the ionization profile monitor are discussed and first measurements with prototype setups are presented.
