	At GSI an ion beam with different horizontal and vertical emittances has been created from a beam with initially equal emittances. This round-to-flat adoption has been accomplished without any beam loss. In the set-up the beam passes through a stripping foil placed inside a solenoid followed by a skewed quadrupole triplet. The amount of beam flatness has been controlled by setting the solenoid field strength only. Increase of the product of the two transverse emittances is purely due to the stripping process that occurs anyway along an ion linac. Beams with different amounts of flatness were injected into a synchrotron applying horizontal multi-turn injection. The efficiency of injection increased as smaller as the horizontal emittance was set by the round-to-flat adaptor.

THPF007	Optimization of Multi-turn Injection into a Heavy-Ion Synchrotron using Genetic Algorithms	3689

	For heavy-ion synchrotrons an efficient multi-turn injection (MTI) from the injector linac is crucial in order to reach the specified currents using the available machine acceptance. The beam loss during the MTI must not exceed the limits determined by machine protection and vacuum requirements. Especially for low energy and intermediate charge state ions, the beam loss can cause a degradation of the vacuum and a corresponding reduction of the beam lifetime. In order to optimize the MTI a genetic algorithm based optimization is used to simultaneously minimize the loss and maximize the multiplication factor (e.g. stored currents in the synchrotron). The effect of transverse space charge force on the MTI has also been taken into account. The optimization resulted in injection parameters, which promise a significant improvement of the MTI performance for intense beams in the SIS18 synchrotron at GSI.

For heavy-ion synchrotrons an efficient multi-turn injection (MTI) from the injector linac is crucial in order to reach the specified currents using the available machine acceptance. The beam loss during the MTI must not exceed the limits determined by machine protection and vacuum requirements. Especially for low energy and intermediate charge state ions, the beam loss can cause a degradation of the vacuum and a corresponding reduction of the beam lifetime. In order to optimize the MTI a genetic algorithm based optimization is used to simultaneously minimize the loss and maximize the multiplication factor (e.g. stored currents in the synchrotron). The effect of transverse space charge force on the MTI has also been taken into account. The optimization resulted in injection parameters, which promise a significant improvement of the MTI performance for intense beams in the SIS18 synchrotron at GSI.

The pbar physics program at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) requires a high number of cooled pbars per hour. The FAIR proton injector with coupled CH-cavities will provide for a high intensity (35 mA) pulsed 70 MeV proton beam at a repetition rate of 4 Hz. The recent heavy ion UNIversal Linear Accelerator (UNILAC) at GSI is able to deliver proton as well as heavy ion beams for injection into the FAIR-synchrotrons. Recently GSI UNILAC could provide for a two orders of magnitude higher proton beam current in routine operation. A hydrocarbon beam (CH3) from the MUCIS ion source was accelerated inside High Current Injector and cracked in a supersonic nitrogen gas jet into stripped protons and carbon ions. A new proton beam intensities record (3 mA) could be achieved during machine experiments in October 2014. Potentially up to 25% of the FAIR proton beam performance is achievable at a maximum UNILAC beam energy of 20 MeV and a repetition rate of 4 Hz. The UNILAC can be used as a high performance proton injector for initial FAIR-commissioning and as a redundant option for the first FAIR-experiments.
