The FAIR project requires a dedicated proton injector for the creation of high intensity secondary antiproton beams. This machine will be the first high intensity linear accelerator based on CH-DTL. The status of the project, with particular emphasis on the construction of the first RF prototype is presented.

  The FAIR Proton Linac is a 70mA, 70 MeV. 325 MHz linear accelerator based on CH cavities. The focusing scheme is provided by an asynchronous KONUS lattice period. Random misalignment and rotation errors of the quadrupoles, together with phase and RF settings of the power source plays a major role in beam losses. Those effects are investigated and the beam dynamics results, including several source of errors, are presented and discussed.

  For the FAIR project of GSI as part of the proton linac a 325 MHz RFQ with an output energy of 3 MeV is planned. Simulations that have lead to a prototype of a 4-Rod Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) have been done. The RF parameters have been verified with the prototype. Power tests of this 6 stem copper RFQ should now verify parameters like shunt impedance, electrode voltage and give answers of how much power the structure can sustain.

  If the RF design of a 4-rod Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) is not performed carefully with respect to the boundary fields of its electrodes, it can produce errors compared to beam dynamic simulations. An additional field component can be induced on the beam axis, which influences the properties of the particle beam, like energy per nucleon for example, dramatically. Therefore, the influences of different geometric parameters of 4-rod RFQs on these fields have been studied in detail. The results of these simulations will be presented in this paper.
