  As an injector to the future FAIR facility, the UNILAC accelerator is required to deliver ion beams with high intensities as well as good beam quality. The electrodes of the current HSI RFQ are exhausted and the current RFQ itself is assigned to be one bottle-neck for improving the brilliance performance of the whole linac. Based on the so-called NFSP (New Four-Section Procedure) method, a new RFQ electrode design has been developed and optimized for 20 emA, U4+ beams at the RFQ entrance. Since only the electrodes will be replaced, the RFQ length has been kept unchanged. Even with a lowered inter-vane voltage, the new RFQ design has achieved better beam performance compared to the previous design. This paper will focus on the performed study with respect to beam dynamics.

  In order to meet the requirements on beam parameters for the upcoming FAIR facility at GSI, the injector linac UNILAC will be upgraded. The activities comprise development of the sources for stable provision of intense uranium beams at a repetition rate of 2.7 Hz, a revision of the beam dynamics layout of the 120 keV/u RFQ, the replacement of the matching section to the 1.4 MeV/u pre-stripper DTL, and enhancement of the gaseous stripping section efficiency. This section shall also include a round-to-flat emittance adaptor to prepare the beam for injection into the synchrotron SIS18 which has a flat transverse injection acceptance. Finally, the upgrade includes the complete replacement of the 40 year old 11.4 MeV/u Alvarez-type post-stripper DTL with a new DTL, preferably using Alvarez-type cavities with improved beam focusing features, as well as its rf-power alimentations.

For future experiments with heavy ions near the coulomb barrier within the super-heavy element (SHE) research project a multi-stage R&D program of GSI, HIM and IAP is currently in progress. It aims at developing a superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) LINAC with multiple CH cavities as key components downstream the upgraded High Charge Injector (HLI) at GSI. The LINAC design is challenging, due to the requirement of intense beams in cw-mode up to a mass-to-charge-ratio of 6 while covering a broad output energy range from 3.5 to 7.3 MeV/u with minimum energy spread. The next milestone will be a full performance beam test of the first expansion stage at GSI, the Demonstrator, comprising two solenoids and a 15-gap CH cavity inside a cryostat.
