  This paper describes the development progress of the 70 MeV, 70 mA proton injector for the FAIR facility. The injector comprises an ECR-type high current proton source followed by a ladder 4-rod RFQ and six normal conduction CH-DTL accelerating cavities. This unique design allows for a compact structure. The design work of the cavities has been mostly completed by our collaberation partners at IAP Frankfurt. The design of the buncher cavities, the mechanical integration as well as beam diagnostic devices are currently under development. The construction of a new modulator for the pLinac rf-system has been started on site. The proton source and the LEBT as well as the subsequent chopper are currently assembled at CEA/Saclay. Beam commissioning of the source at Saclay will start at the beginning of 2017. An overview of the pLinac main parameters and design choices is given, and the overall status reported.

  HADES is a fixed target experiment using SIS18 heavy-ion beams. It investigates the microscopic properties of matter formed in heavy-ion, proton and pion - induced reactions in the 1-3.5 GeV/u energy regime. In 2014 HADES used a secondary pion beam produced by interaction between high-intensity nitrogen primary beam and a beryllium target. In these conditions beam losses, generated by slow extraction and beam transport to the experimental area, led to activation of the beam line elements and triggered radiation alarms. The primary beam intensity had to be reduced and the beam optics modified in order to keep radiation levels within the allowed limits. Similar beam conditions are requested by HADES experiment for upcoming run in 2018 and in the following years. Therefore, a number of measures have been proposed to improve beam transmission and quality. These measures are: additional shielding, additional beam instrumentation, modification of beam optics and increase of vacuum chambers' apertures in critical locations. The optics study and preliminary results of FLUKA simulations for optimization of location of loss detectors are presented.

  The research program of antiproton beams for the FAIR facility requires a dedicated 68 MeV, 70 mA proton injector. This injector will consist of an RFQ followed by six room temperature Crossbar H-type CH-cavities operated at 325 MHz. The beam dynamics had been revised by IAP Frankfurt in collaboration with GSI-FAIR in Darmstadt to further optimize the design. This step was followed by cavity RF design. The detailed mechanical cavity design will begin in 2017, while the quadrupole lenses are under production already. In this paper, besides an overview the RF design of the coupled cavities with integrated focusing triplets will be a main focus.
