  To keep the ambitious Super Heavy Element (SHE) physics program at GSI competitive a superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) high intensity heavy ion LINAC is currently under progress as a multi-stage R&D program of GSI, HIM and IAP*. The baseline linac design consists of a high performance ion source, a new low energy beam transport line, an (cw) upgraded High Charge State Injector (HLI), and a matching line (1.4 MeV/u) which is followed by the new sc-DTL LINAC for post acceleration up to 7.3 MeV/u. In the present design the new cw-heavy ion LINAC comprises constant-beta sc Crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavities operated at 217 MHz. The advantages of the proposed beam dynamics concept applying a constant beta profile are easy manufacturing with minimized costs as well as a straightforward energy variation**. An important milestone will be the full performance test of the first CH cavity (Demonstrator), in a horizontal cryo module with beam. An advanced demonstrator setup comprising a string of cavities and focussing elements is proposed to build from 10 short CH-cavities with 8 gaps. The corresponding simulations and technical layout of the new cw heavy ion LINAC will be presented.

  Providing heavy ion beams for the ambitious experiment program at GSI, the Universal Linear Accelerator (UNILAC) serves as a powerful high duty factor (25%) accelerator. Beam time availability for SHE-research will be decreased due to the limitation of the UNILAC providing a proper beam for FAIR simultaneously. To keep the GSI-SHE program competitive on a high level, a standalone sc cw-LINAC in combination with the upgraded GSI High Charge State injector is planned to build. In preparation for this the first linac section (financed by HIM and partly by HGF-ARD-initiative) will be tested in 2015 as a demonstrator. After successful testing the construction of an extended cryomodule comprising two further, but shorter CH cavities is foreseen to test until end of 2017. In this contribution the measurement of the beam parameters at the entrance of CW-Demonstartor, the preliminary simulation of beam dynamics for the first stage of advanced demonstrator will be presented. As a final R&D step towards an entire linac an advanced cryo module comprising up to five CH cavities is envisaged for 2019 serving for first user experiments at the coulomb barrier.

  The Helmholtz-Institut Mainz HIM will operate a clean room facility for the assembly and possible re-treatment of superconducting cavities. This is mandatory for several SRF accelerator projects, like the advanced demonstrator for a dedicated sc heavy ion cw-linac at HIM or other projects pursued by research facilities or universities close by. While the installation of the clean room is in progress, the procurement of the appliances is ongoing. The present equipment planned and the current status of the installation will be presented.

  The demonstrator is a prototype of the first section of the proposed cw-LINAC@GSI, comprising a superconducting CH-cavity embedded by two superconducting solenoids. The sc CH-structure is the key component and offers a variety of research and development. The beam focusing solenoids provide maximum fields of 9.3 T at an overall length of 380 mm and a free beam aperture of 30 mm. The magnetic induction of the fringe is minimized to 50 mT at the inner NbTi-surface of the neighboring cavity. The fabrication of the key components is still in progress and is near to completion. After cold performance testing of the RF cavity, the helium jacket will be welded on. The cryostat is partly assembled and will be finished in the next weeks. The test environment is completely prepared. Advanced emittance measurement is foreseen to prepare for best matching of the heavy ion beam from the injector. Integration of the cryostat into the beam line, the first cool down of the module and commissioning of the RF elements will be performed as next steps towards a complete testing of the demonstrator.

Since in future the existing UNILAC (Universal Linear Accelerator) will be used as an injector for the FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) project, a new superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) linac at GSI is proposed to keep the Super Heavy Element (SHE) program at a competitive high level. In this context, a sc 217 MHz crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavity has been designed at the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP), Frankfurt University, and was built at Research Instruments (RI) GmbH, Germany. The cavity serves as a first prototype to demonstrate the reliable operability under a realistic accelerator environment and its successful beam operation will be a milestone on the way to the new linac. In this contribution measurements during the production process of the cavity as well as corresponding simulations will be presented.

  At the Institut für Kernphysik of Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, the new multiturn energy recovery linac MESA is under construction. Two modified ELBE-type cryomodules with two 9-cell TESLA/XFEL cavities each will provide an energy gain of 50 MeV per turn. Those are currently in the production process at RI Research Instruments GmbH, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany. Modifications for the tuner and the HOM damper are under development. In addition, a 4K/2K Joule Thomson expansion stage will also be integrated into the cryomodule. The current status of the development of the cryomodules and their modifications will be discussed.
