The HITRAP linac at GSI will decelerate ions from 5 MeV/u to 6 keV/u for experiments with the large GSI Penning trap. The ions are decelerated at first in the existing experimental storage ring (ESR) down to an energy of 5 MeV/u and will be injected into a new Decelerator-Linac consisting of a IH-structure, which decelerates down to 500keV/u, and a 4-Rod RFQ , decelerating to 5 keV/u. The properties of the RFQ decelerator and the status of the project will be discussed.

The highly charged heavy ion trap (HITRAP) project at GSI is a funded mid term project and is planned to be operational end of 2007. Highly charged ions up to U92+ provided by the GSI accelerator facility will be decelerated from 4 MeV/u down to 6 keV/u and subsequently be injected into a large Penning trap for further deceleration and phase space cooling. The deceleration is done in a combination of the GSI experimental storage ring (ESR) and a linac based on an IH-structure and a RFQ. In front of the decelerator linac a double drift-buncher-system provides for phase focusing and a final de-buncher integrated in the RFQ-tank reduces the energy spread in order to improve the efficiency for beam capture in the cooler trap. The paper reports the beam dynamics design along the entire decelerator down to the trap injection point, as well as and the status of the cavities. Finally the time schedule and ESR and linac commissioning are discussed.
