The FAIR facility, under development at GSI, needs a new dedicated proton injector for the production of intense antiprotons secondary beams. This injector will accelerate protons from 3 to 70 MeV at a current of 70 mA, and due to the high voltage gain and shunt impedance will be based on CH cavities powered by a 2.5 MW, 325 MHz klystron. An innovative coupling cell containing one drift tube of length N-beta λ was developed to combine multicell drift tube modules of the CH-type (H210 mode).. In order to study this innovative coupling mechanism a scaled model of the second resonator of GSI Proton injector is under production at IAP. The according full scale prototype, 3 meter long coupled X MV resonator from MeV to MeV is under construction and will be power tested with a 2.5 MW klystron at GSI at the end of 2008. This paper describes in detail the coupled structure together with a general overview of the R&D results achieved on the CH-DTL's cavity.

  The International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) which is under design will be a high flux source of fast neutrons for the development of new materials needed for future fusion reactors. IFMIF will deliver 250 mA of 40 MeV deuterons. The duty cycle is 100% and the beam power on the lithium target is 10 MW. The beam will be accelerated by two 175 MHz linacs in parallel operation. Beside the room temperature Alvarez solution an alternative design using superconducting CH-structures has been proposed. In this paper we present the superconducting approach for IFMIF with the emphasis on the beam dynamics simulations. The simulations have been performed using the LORASR code. A new space charge routing has been added to the code to increase the number of macro particles to more than 1 million. Additionally a new routine allows the simulation of randomly distributed RF and alignment errors. The optimized linac layout including error and loss studies will be presented.

The superconducting CH-structure is the first multi-cell cavity for the acceleration of low and medium energy ions and protons. A superconducting prototype cavity has been built and several cold tests have been performed at the IAP in Frankfurt. After the detection of a field emission centre the cavity will be treated by buffered chemical polishing and high pressure rinsing. Additionally the cavity is being prepared for tests in a horizontal cryostat with slow and fast tuner system. We present the status of these developments and the test results which have been gained recently.

EUROTRANS (EUROpean Research Programme for the TRANSmutation of High Level Nuclear Waste in an Accelerator Driven System) is calling for an efficient high-current CW front-end accelerator system. A combination of RFQ, normal conducting CH- (Crossbar H-mode) and super-conducting CH-DTL which aims to work at 352MHz and accelerate a 30mA proton beam to 17MeV has been studied as a promising candidate. The preliminary conceptual study results are reported with respect to beam dynamics design.
