  The Alvarez 2.0 DTL will be the new post-stripper DTL of the UNILAC at GSI. The existing GSI with its LINAC and SIS18 comprise the main operation injector chain for the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research FAIR. The new Alvarez-DTL has an operation frequency of 108.4 MHz, an input energy of 1.358 MeV/u and the output energy is 11.4 MeV/u with a total length of 55 m. The presented FoS section will be part of the first cavity of the Alvarez 2.0 DTL. The FoS-cavity with 11 drift tubes (including quadrupole singlets) and a total length of 1.9 m will be copper plated in GSI for high power tests. The design of the quadrupole singlet magnet is finalized; a prototype of a fully functional magnet with drift tube and stems will be fabricated within a design study. Empty drift tubes and all components of the tank shall be delivered 2019 for first low level RF investigations.

  Errors from discretization and large data volume of field maps is a concern for beam dynamics simulations with respect to achievable accuracy and to the required amount of time. High-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) has recently emerged as simple, effective, and adaptive tool to extract the essentials from multidimensional data. This paper is on the feasibility of compression and noise reduction of electromagnetic field map data with HOSVD. The method has been applied to an electric field map of a DTL cavity with 11 m in length comprising 55 rf-gaps. The original field map data of 220 MB was converted into practically noise-free data of just 20 KB. Noise was reduced by 95% as demonstrated using a cubic cavity for which the analytical field map is available.

  In order to meet the beam intensity and quality requirements imposed by FAIR, the HSI-RFQ beam dynamics originally dating from 2009 has been re-designed recently at CERN. Front-to-end simulations demonstrated that the new design meets the FAIR targets. Implementation of the new electrodes, initially planned for 2019, will require re-adaption of the RFQ cavity rf-parameters by re-shaping the stems that keep the electrodes. However, during the beam time 2018 the existing RFQ did not reach its nominal voltage most likely due to expired lifetime of the electrodes originating from 2009. In order to shorten the RFQ maintenance period and to minimize any risk for upcoming beam time 2019, it was decided to post-pone the implementation of the new design and rather just re-producing the 2009 design electrodes. This contribution is on the re-production process as short-term solution and on the full implementation of the new design as mid-term solution. CST simulations performed at GSI assure that the resonance frequency with the new electrode geometry is recuperated through corrections of the carrier rings. The status of the exchange of the electrodes and simulations for the adaptation of the new electrode design are presented.
