	A new accelerator complex is planned to generate highest intensities of heavy ion and proton beams for the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI. The two new synchrotrons, SIS100 and SIS300 which deliver the primary beams to the FAIR target stations, will make use of the existing GSI accelerators UNILAC and SIS18 as injectors. In order to reach the desired intensities close to 1012 uranium ions and 2.5 x 1013 protons per pulse, a substantial upgrade program of the existing facility is being prepared. The well defined technical subprojects of these upgrade programs and the concepts for approaching the intensity goals of SIS100/300 will be described.

	In the field of heavy-element research using the velocity separator SHIP significant achievements were made at GSI during the last 30 years. The experiences obtained of experiments clearly show that superheavy-element research was always based on efforts to extend the limits of technical possibilities - of these the increase of beam intensity is one of the major contributions. This paper provides for technical information on the already planned upgrades of the present facility, which results in a significant overall increase of the experimental sensitivity. It is foreseen to investigate and to build a sc 28 GHz-ECR ion source, which should increase the primary beam intensities. The beam coming from the new ECR source will be delivered to the GSI-High Charge State Injector by a second LEBT-system. An upgrade program for the rf-amplifiers and the rf-structures is intended to increase the duty factor from 30 % to 50 %. Besides the ECR-source a new RFQ accelerator and the IH structure may alternatively serve as an injector for an new advanced stand alone accelerator providing for 100 % duty factor. Two different linac-layouts will be discussed.

	The heavy ion trap (HITRAP) at GSI is a funded project since 2004. Highly charged ions up to U92+ provided by the GSI accelerator facility will be decelerated and subsequently injected into a Penning trap for further cooling almost to rest. A combination of an IH- and an RFQ-structure decelerates the ions from 4 MeV/u down to 6 keV/u. In front of the decelerator a double-drift-buncher-system provides for phase focusing and a final debuncher integrated in the RFQ-tank reduces the energy spread in order to improve the efficiency for beam capture in the cooler trap. The report gives an overview of the final beam dynamic design of the entire decelerator. Besides the construction status of the cavities, particular beam diagnostic features due to the short pulses of 1 μs and 108 MHz bunch frequency, and the measures for technical and controls integration into the existing GSI accelerator complex are presented. Finally the recent time schedule and considerations for commissioning are shown.

	A clinical facility for cancer therapy using energetic proton and ion beams (C, He and O) is under construction and will be installed at the Radiologische Universitätsklinik in Heidelberg, Germany. It consists of two ECR ion sources, a 7 MeV/u linac injector and a 6.5 Tm synchrotron to accelerate the ions to final energies of 50-430 MeV/u. The linac comprises a 400 keV/u RFQ and a 7 MeV/u IH-DTL operating at 216.8 MHz. In this contribution the current status of the linear accelerator is reported. After first tests with 1H+ beam of the RFQ at GSI, the commissioning of the accelerator in Heidelberg has already started. The commissioning with beam is performed in three steps for the LEBT, the RFQ and the IH-DTL. For this purpose a versatile beam diagnostic test bench has been designed. It consists of a slit-grid emittance measurement device, transverse pick-ups providing for time of flight energy measurements, SEM-profile grids and different devices for beam current measurements. This paper will provide for a status report of the linac-commissioning.
