The realisation of the first section of a new superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) LINAC is planned in 2013. The project is called “cw LINAC Demonstrator” and is financed by the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM). The aim is a “full performance test” at GSI-HLI of a new 217 MHz sc CH-Cavity which is designed by the Institute of Applied Physics (IAP) of the University Frankfurt. According to an engineering study for the cryostat, a frame has been designed to support the cavity embedded by two sc solenoids. A nuclotron -suspension analog to the SIS-100 Magnets for FAIR is used, which nearly prevents the displacement of the components on the frame while cooling down. Another challenge is to reduce the magnetic field of the solenoid from 9.3 T to 50 mT at the cavity within some centimeters by moveable compensation -coils. This and other technical solutions in the cryogenic environment of the Demonstrator are presented.

The superconducting Crossbar-H-mode (CH)-structure has been developed and tested successfully at the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP) of Frankfurt University. It is a multi-gap drift tube cavity for the acceleration of protons and ions in the low and medium energy range based on the H210-mode. At present two types of superconducting CH-structures (f = 325 MHz, β = 0.16, seven cells and f = 217 MHz, β = 0.059, 15 cells) are under construction. For the geometrical design of superconducting cavities structural mechanical simulations are essential to predict mechanical eigenmodes and the deformation of the cavity walls due to bath pressure effects and the cavity cool-down. Therefore, several static structural and modal analyses with ANSYS Workbench have been performed. Additionally, a new concept for the dynamic frequency tuning including a novel type of a piezo based bellow-tuner has been investigated to control the frequency against microphonics and Lorentz force detuning.

At present, two superconducting (sc) CH cavities are under development at the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP) of Frankfurt University. The construction of a sc 325 MHz CH cavity with 7 cells and an envisaged design gradient of 5 MV/m is almost finished. It is planned to test this cavity with beam at GSI Universal Accelerator (UNILAC), Darmstadt to show its performance as a candidate for the UNILAC upgrade. Furthermore, the 217 MHz CH structure with 15 accelerating cells and a real estate gradient of 5.1 MV/m will be the first cavity of the new sc continuous wave (cw) LINAC at GSI. This proposed cw LINAC is highly requested to fulfil the requirements of nuclear chemistry and especially for a competitive production of new Super Heavy Elements (SHE). To demonstrate the cavity capabilities under a realistic accelerator environment, a full performance test by injecting and accelerating a beam from the GSI High Charge Injector (HLI) is planned in 2013/14. The current status of both sc CH cavities is presented.

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.
