	The GSI accelerator facility provides highly charged ions up to U92+ by stripping the ions at 400 MeV/u in the transfer line from the SIS18 (Heavy Ion Synchrotron) to the ESR (Experimental Storage Ring). The ESR provides high quality beams by means of stochastic cooling and electron cooling. Deceleration down to 4 MeV/u was already successfully demonstrated. After suitable rebunching, further deceleration down to 6 keV/u, neccessary for the capture of the ions by a penning trap, is done by IH/RFQ-structures. All cavities are operated at 108 MHz. Recently the HITRAP-project (Heavy Ion Trap), described in a Technical Design Report, was approved. The layout of the decelerator and the beam dynamics in different sections are reported.

	The antiproton physics program of the future International Accelerator Facility at Darmstadt is based on a rate of 7·1010 cooled antiprotons per hour. To provide the primary proton intensities a proton linac is planned, which will be operated independently from the existing UNILAC for heavy ions. The proposed linac comprises a proton source, a RFQ, and a DTL. Its operation frequency of 352 MHz allows for an efficient acceleration to up to 70 MeV using normal conducting Crossed-bar H-cavities. These CH-cavities show high shunt impedances as known from IH-structures, but allow for much higher relative particle velocities of up to 40%. The beam pulses with a length of 25 μs, a current of 70 mA, and total transverse emittances of 7 μm will allow to fill the existing synchrotron SIS within one multi-turn-injection up to its space charge limit of 7·1012 protons. The maximum SIS ramping rate limits the applied proton linac repetition rate to 5 Hz. This paper gives an overview of the proposed proton linac. The status of the design including beam dynamic studies will be reported.

MOP07	High Current Beam Transport to SIS18	45

	The optimized transversal and longitudinal matching of space charged dominated ion beams to SIS18 is essential for a loss free injection. This paper focuses on the beam dynamics in the transfer line (TK) from the post-stripper accelerator to the SIS18. Transverse beam emittance measurements at different positions along the TK were done. Especially, the different foil stripping modes were investigated. A longitudinal emittance measurement set-up was commissioned at the entry to the TK. It is used extensively to tune all the rebunchers along the UNILAC. An addition, a test bench is in use for measurements of longitudinal bunch profiles, which enables to monitor for the final debunching to SIS18. Multi particle simulations by means of PARMILA allow a detailed analysis of experimental results for different ion currents.
MOP08	Investigation of the Beam Matching to the GSI-Alvarez DTL under Space Charge Conditions	48
	S. Yaramishev, W. Barth, L. Dahl, L. Groening, S. Richter GSI, Darmstadt
	The UNILAC consists of the 36 MHz high current RFQ/IH-injector, a gas stripper section at an energy of 1.4 MeV/u and a 108 MHz Alvarez poststripper, accelerating all ions up to of 11.4 MeV/u. The design beam current for U28+ is 12.6 emA at full energy. After the stripping process the electrical beam current is increased by a factor of 7 for uranium. This leads to a significant beam emittance growth during the transport through the charge state separator and the matching section to the Alvarez DTL. The paper reports results of beam experiments focused on the matching of the high intensity beams to the Alvarez for different ion species. Measured data are compared with the results of beam dynamics simulations. Possible improvements of the transverse focusing in the Alvarez linac are discussed and the total impact to the beam quality at the synchrotron injection is evaluated.

TU103	Development of the UNILAC Towards a Megawatt Beam Injector	246
	W. Barth, L. Dahl, J. Glatz, L. Groening, S. Richter, S. Yaramishev GSI, Darmstadt
	For the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt the present GSI-accelerator complex, consisting of the linear accelerator UNILAC and the heavy ion synchrotron SIS18, is foreseen to serve as an U28+ injector for up to 1012 particles/sec. After a new High Current Injector was installed, many different ion species were accelerated in the UNILAC for physics experiments. In 2001 a high energy physics experiment used up to 2·109 uranium ions per spill (U73+), while a MEVVA ion source was in routine operation for the first time. In the past two years different hardware measures and a careful fine tuning in all sections of the UNILAC resulted in an increase of the beam intensity to 9.5·1010 U27+ ions per 100 μs or 1.5·1010 U73+ ions per 100 μs. The contribution reports results of beam measurements during the high current operation with uranium beams (pulse beam power up to 0.5 MW). One of the major tasks was to optimize the beam matching to the Alvarez-DTL. In addition further upgrades, including improved beam diagnostics, are described, which allow to fill the SIS18 up to the space charge limit of 2.7·1011 U28+ ions per cycle.
