  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.

MOPCH078 Simulation of Dynamic Vacuum Induced Beam Loss 211

  In synchrotrons, operated with intermediate charge state, heavy ion beams, intensity dependent beam losses have been observed. The origin of these losses is the change in charge state of the beam ions at collisions with residual gas atoms or molecules. The resulting A/Z deviation from the reference beam ion leads to modified trajectories in dispersive elements, which finally results in beam loss. At the impact positions, secondary particles are produced by ion stimulated desorption and increase the vacuum pressure locally. In turn, this pressure rise will enhance the charge change- and particle loss process and finally cause significant beam loss within a very short time (a few turns). A program package has been developed, which links the described beam loss mechanisms to the residual gas status and determines the vacuum dynamics. Core of the program is an ion optics tracking routine, in which the atomic physics and vacuum effects are embedded.

  We present the ion optical design of SIS100, which is the main synchrotron of the FAIR project. The purpose of SIS100 is the acceleration of high intensity heavy ion and proton beams and the generation of short compressed single bunches for the production of secondary beams. Since ionization in the residual gas is the main loss mechanism, a new lattice design concept had to be developed, especially for the operation with intermediate charge state heavy ions. The lattice was optimized to generate a peaked loss distribution in charge separator like lattice cells. Thereby it enables the control of generated desorption gases in special catchers. For bunch compression, the lattice provides dispersion free straight sections and a low dispersion in the arcs. A special difficulty is the optical design for fast and slow extraction, and the emergency dumping of the high rigidity ions within the same short straight section.

  The basic concept and the main design features of the superconducting SIS100 correction system are presented. The system comprises 84 steerer magnets consisting of two orthogonal dipole windings each for correction of the beam close orbit in vertical and horizontal planes, 48 normal sextupole windings connected in two families with opposite polarities for chromaticity correction and 12 units containing skew quadrupoles, normal and skew sextupoles and octupoles as well. The correction system should operate in a pulse mode corresponding to the accelerator cycle, i.e., up to 1 Hz. The main magnetic, geometrical and electrical parameters of the corrector magnets were specified. They are based on the beam dynamic analysis within the frames of the DF-type SIS100 lattice at different betatron tune numbers and tolerable alignment and manufacturing errors of the main lattice dipole and quadrupole magnets. The problem of reasonable unification of the corrector modules is discussed also, including their geometrical sizes, maximum supply current and cooling at 4.5 K. The concept of the SIS100 corrector magnets is based on the pulsed correctors designed for the Nuclotron.  
TUPLS084 Estimation of Decay Losses and Dynamic Vacuum for the Beta-beam Accelerator Chain 1696

  The beta-beam is based on the acceleration and storage of radioactive ions. Due to the large number of ions required and their relatively short lifetime, beam losses are a major concern. This paper estimates the decay losses for the part of the accelerator chain comprising the CERN PS and SPS machines. For illustration purposes, the power deposition in these accelerators is compared to that expected for nominal CNGS proton operation. The beam losses induced vacuum dynamics is simulated and the consequences for machine operation are discussed.  
THPCH005 Considerations for the High-intensity Working Point of the SIS100 2793

  In the FAIR project the SIS100 synchrotron is foreseen to provide high-intensity beams of U 28+, including slow extraction to the radioactive beam experimental area, as well as high-intensity p beams for the production of antiprotons. In this paper we discuss the proposal of three different working points, which should serve the different needs: (1) a high intensity working point for U28+; (2) a slow extraction working point (also U28+); (3) a proton operation working point to avoid transition crossing. The challenging beam loss control for all three applications requires a careful account of the effects of space charge, lattice nonlinearities and chromaticity, which will be discussed in detail in this paper. Since tunes are not split by an integer and the injected emittances are different, the Montague stop-band needs to be avoided. Moreover, final bunch compression for the U beam requires a sufficiently small momentum spread, and the risk of transverse resisitive wall instabilities poses further limitations on our choice of working points.

  The SIS100, one of the two basic accelerators of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research FAIR at GSI, should provide acceleration of U28+ and proton beams for 0.5 s with a pulse repetition rate of 1 Hz. In the accelerator magnetic system superferric 2 T dipoles of about 3 m length and 35 T/m quadrupoles of about 1 m length will be used. The magnet coils are made from hollow NbTi composite cable cooled with two-phase helium flow at 4.5 K. The maximum operating current of 7500 A is supposed. The lattice comprises 108 dipoles and 168 quadrupoles. The elliptic beam pipe inner sizes have been fixed to 130x60 mm2 for the dipole and 135x65 mm2 for the quadrupole The design approach is based on the improved versions of the Nuclotron fast-cycling magnets that provide significant less AC loss at 4.5 K, better quality of the magnetic field and a higher long-term mechanical stability of the magnet coils. The AC losses in the magnets for the strongest SIS100 operating cycle at 4.5 K are expected to be about 13 W/m and 17 W/m in the full length prototype dipole and quadrupole magnets respectively.

  The basic concept and main design features of the transverse damping system at the SIS100 synchrotron are presented. SIS100 with five times the circumference of the current SIS18 accelerator is a part of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) which is the next accelerator complex being constructed on the GSI site. The existing GSI accelerators serve as injector for SIS100. The SIS100 synchrotron will provide ion beams of high intensities which can lead to transversal and longitudinal beam instabilities. In order to damp the coherent transverse beam oscillations, a transverse feedback system (TFS) is going to be implemented in SIS100. The TFS presented is a feedback with a real-time digital signal processing for damping of transverse injection oscillations, feedback curing transverse coupled bunch instabilities, and excitation of transverse oscillations for beam measurements and other applications. The data on the bandwidth and gain of the TFS as well as the general description of the central processing unit are presented.
