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.

For the synchrotron's SIS-18 and SIS-100 (FAIR) a dual-harmonic RF system with the harmonic numbers h1=2, h2=4 and h1=10, h2=20 respectively is planned. Such systems flatten the bunch form and increase the bunching factor Bf therefore reducing the transverse space charge force. For high currents cavity beam loading and potential-well distortion will deform the flattened bunch shape and lead to phase shifts. Optimized settings for the difference between the two RF phases and for the synchronous phase of the main RF harmonic are an option to reduce these effects. In this contribution we will analyse further aspects of the matched bunch distribution, possible instabilities of the obtained distribution will be discussed and results of machine experiments in SIS-18 will be presented.

The minimum transverse emittances achievable in a beam line are determined by the two transverse eigen-emittances of the beam. For vanishing interplane correlations they are equal to the well-know rms-emittances. Eigen-emittances are constants of motion for all symplectic beam line elements, i.e. (even tilted) linear elements. To allow for rms-emittance transfer, the eigen-emittances must be changed by applying a non-symplectic action to the beam, preferably preserving the 4d-rms-emittance. This contribution will introduce the concept for eigen-emittance shaping and rms-emittance transfer at an ion linac. A path towards the experimental demonstration of the concept at the GSI UNILAC is presented.
