At the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP), Frankfurt University, a sc 325 MHz CH-Cavity has been designed and fabricated. Successful tests at 4 K and 2 K with gradients up to 14.1 MV/m have been performed. The cavity is destined for a 11.4 AMeV 10 mA ion beam at the GSI UNILAC, Darmstadt. Consisting of 7 gaps and a geometrical beta of 0.16 this resonator is designed to provide a gradient of 5 MV/m. Novel features of this structure comprise a compact design, low electric peak fields, improved surface processing possibilities and power coupling. In addition a tuner system based on mechanically deformable bellow tuners attached inside the cavity and driven either by a stepping motor or a piezo actuator will keep the cavity on resonance. This contribution reports about the latest measurements on the cavity with the recently attached helium vessel and a renewed surface processing.

  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.

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.
