  The FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) project at GSI is aiming for an international heavy ion accelerator facility of the next generation. It builds on the experiences and technological developments made for the existing GSI accelerators and other laboratories, and incorporates new technological concepts. Its heart is the high intensity, heavy ion synchrotron SIS100 with five times the circumference of the existing SIS18. A system of cooler-storage rings for effective cooling of secondary beams and various fixed target experimental areas will be connected to the primary beam facility. The existing GSI accelerators UNILAC and SIS18 serve as injectors for the new complex. Reaching the main goals of the new FAIR facility, highest beam intensities, brilliant beam quality, higher beam energies, highest beam power and parallel operation requires many technological and beam physical innovations. The status of the FAIR accelerator project, which is in a transition phase between design and construction, will be presented.

  The SIS100 heavy ion synchrotron, the core machine of the FAIR complex, uses fast ramped superconducting magnets. As for its ancestor, the Nuclotron operational at JINR Dubna since 1993, its superconducting magnets are based on iron dominated design and coils made of Nuclotron type cables. The SIS100 magnets differ from the Nuclotron magnets in the following points: they are longer, the field aperture was enlarged and the field quality improved, its AC losses reduced. The coils have a lower hydraulic resistance and the operation current is doubled. These achievements were obtained in a R&D collaboration between JINR and GSI. Now in the realization phase GSI will procure and test the SIS100 dipole magnets, while JINR together with GSI will finalize the design of the quadrupoles units (consisting of one quadrupole and one corrector), procure, test and assemble them into doublets. We report on the status of the project, the scheme of the JINR-GSI collaboration for developing and manufacturing the SIS100 quadrupole modules and the steps required to achieve the start of the series production.
