These linac activities are aimed to increase the accelerating field gradient. In IAP – Frankfurt, a CH – design was proposed to post-accelerate a proton bunch, generated by an intense laser, from 10 – 15.2 MeV. The accelerating field gradient is expected to reach > 10 MV/m. Within a funded project, this cavity will be further developed towards a high gradient cavity. The availability of the GSI 3 MW klystron test stand will be very important for these investigations. The results will influence the rebuilt of the Unilac - Alvarez section, where the existing linac tunnel with 1 m thick concrete walls should house a powerful pulsed heavy ion linac, optimized for achieving finally the beam intensities specified for the GSI-FAIR project. The status of the cavity design will be presented.

  For the research program with cooled antiprotons at FAIR a dedicated 70 MeV, 70 mA proton injector is required. In the low energy section, between the Ion Source and the main linac an RFQ has to be designed. Accelerating protons from 95 keV to 3.0 MeV the RFQ will oscillate at 325 MHz. This particular high frequency for an RFQ creates difficulties which are challenging in developing this cavity. In order to define a satisfactory geometrical configuration for this resonator, both from the RF and the mechanical point of view, different designs have been examined and compared. Very promising results have been reached with an ladder type RFQ, especially concerning the dipole component of the accelerating fields, which is almost not noticeable. This paper will show 3D simulations of the general layout and a whole cavity demonstrating the power of a ladder type RFQ. It will outline a possible layout for the RFQ within the new FAIR proton injector.
