H-mode cavities offer outstanding shunt impedances at low beam energies and enable the acceleration of intense ion beams. Crossed-bar H-cavities extend these properties to energies even beyond 100 MeV. Thus, the designs of the new injector linacs for FAIR, i.e. a 70 MeV, 70 mA proton driver for pbar-production and a cw intermediate mass, superconducting ion linac are based on these novel cavities. Several prototypes (normal & super-conducting) have been built and successfully tested. Moreover, designs for a replacement of the 80 MV Alvarez section of the GSI - Unilac will be discussed to improve the capabilities as the future FAIR heavy ion injector.

The HITRAP linac at GSI is designed to decelerate ions with mass to charge ratio of A/Z<3 from 4 MeV/u to 6 keV/u for experiments with ion traps. The particles are decelerated to 500 keV/u with an IH-DTL stucture and finally to 6 keV/u with a 4-rod RFQ. During commissioning stage the deceleration to approx. 500 keV/u was successfully demonstrated, while no particles behind the RFQ with an energy of 6 keV/u were observed. Dedicated simulations with DYNAMION code, based on 3D-fotometrie of the fabricated RFQ electrodes were successfully performed comprehending the commissioning results. In a second step the simulations have been experimentally confirmed at a test-stand (MPI, Heidelberg). An input energy, accepted by the RFQ channel is significantly higher than design value. For this reason the longitudinal beam emittance after deceleration with IH structure does not fit to the longitudinal RFQ acceptance. To solve this problem a new design of the RFQ channel with a correct input energy has been started. New RFQ parameters and the results of the beam dynamics simulations are presented in this paper.

To provide the primary proton beam for the FAIR anti-proton research program, a 70 MeV, 70 mA linac is currently under design & construction at GSI. The nc machine comprises an ECR source, a 3 MeV RFQ, and a DTL based on CH-cavities. Up to 36 MeV pairs of rf-coupled cavities (CCH) are used. A prototype cavity has been built and is prepared for high power rf-testing. An overview of the status as well as on the perspectives of the project is given.
