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.

  At the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP) the application of Gabor space charge lenses as a focusing device for low energy ion beams has already been studied for several years. Inside Gabor lenses electrons are confined by external fields. In case of a homogeneously distributed electron cloud the resulting linear electric space charge field enables the focusing of high intensity heavy ion beams without aberrations. Therefore, the Gabor lens is a promising approach for mass-independent focusing and possible space charge compensation of ion beams. In mid-2012 the performance of a prototype lens has successfully been tested at the GSI High Current Test Injector (HOSTI). GSI and IAP are currently investigating the possible application of such a device for the continuous operation at the High Current Injector (HSI) for FAIR. This contribution will present the results of beam transport experiments at HOSTI as well as the determination of related plasma properties.
