A new superconducting (sc) continous wave (cw) LINAC at GSI is desired by a broad community of future users. Especially the Super Heavy Elements (SHE) program at GSI and HIM benefits highly from such a dedicated machine. A conceptual layout of an sc cw-LINAC was worked out at the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP) at Frankfurt University. Here the key component, an sc Crossbar-H (CH) cavity, was developed recently. The multi-gap cavity is operated at 217 MHz and provides gradients of 5.1 MV/m at a total length of 0.69 m. The first section of the proposed cw-LINAC comprising a sc CH-cavity embedded by two sc solenoids is financed by HIM as a Demonstrator. One important milestone of the project is a full performance test with beam of the Demonstrator in 2013/14 at the GSI High Charge Injector (HLI). With the demonstrator the srf-technology finds the way to GSI. The tests would be the first of an sc multi-gap structure with heavy ions being an important milestone towards the proposed cw-LINAC. | ||
