  The FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) accelerator facility presently under construction at GSI will supply a wide range of ion species and beam intensities for physics experiments. Design beam intensities range from 2.5·1013 protons/cycle to be delivered to the pBar-target and separator for production of antiprotons, to beams of e.g. 109 ions/s in the case of slowly extracted beams. The main synchrotron of FAIR is the fast ramped super-conducting SIS100. In the present layout SIS100 will deliver up to 4·1011 U-28+ ions/s with energies of 400-2700 MeV/u, either in single bunches of 30-90 ns, or as slowly extracted beam with extraction times of several seconds, for the radioactive ion beam program of FAIR. This contribution gives an overview of the present layout of beam diagnostic instruments for SIS100 and presents the status of the main development projects regarding e.g. the beam position monitor system, ionization profile monitor and the beam current transformers.

Nowadays, cryogenic current comparators (CCCs) are among the most accurate devices for measuring extremely small electric currents. Probably the most interesting property of this equipment, is the excellent position independence of the current passing through it. This feature motivated the use of CCCs for beam instrumentation in particle accelerators. A typical CCC consists of a ferrite core, a pick-up coil, a superconducting quantum interference device, appropriate electronics and superconducting shielding consisting of a meander structure. This configuration offers a strong attenuation for all the magnetic field components, except for the azimuthal one. Thus, high precision measurements of extremely low beam currents are made possible. The damping performance of this device is analysed in this work. A 3D finite element (FE) analysis has been carried out and the computed results were compared to an analytical model*. Furthermore, in order to reduce the computation time, a 2.5D FE model is also proposed and discussed.
