  In the future a new superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) high intensity heavy ion Linac should provide ion beams with a max. beam energy above the coulomb barrier for the Super Heavy Element (SHE) program at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung. As a first step a newly developed superconducting 15-gap Crossbar H-cavity (CH-cavity) operated at 217 MHz has been successfully tested with heavy ion beam up to the design beam energy of 1.85 MeV/u for the first time. The design energy gain of 3.5 MV within a length of less than 70 cm has been validated with heavy ion beams of up to 1.5 particle mueA. The measured beam parameters showed excellent beam quality, while a dedicated beam dynamics layout provides beam energy variation between 1.2 and 2.2 MeV/u. The beam commissioning is a milestone of the R&D work of Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) and GSI in collaboration with Goethe University Frankfurt (GUF) and the first step towards a sc heavy ion cw-Linac with variable beam energy. The next two CH-cavities have already tested under cryogenic conditions. The results of the first successful heavy ion beam acceleration with a superconducting CH-cavity will be presented.
