For future experiments with heavy ions near the coulomb barrier within the super-heavy element (SHE) research project a multi-stage R&D program of GSI, HIM and IAP is currently in progress. It aims at developing a superconducting (sc) continuous wave (CW) LINAC with multiple CH cavities as key components downstream the upgraded High Charge Injector (HLI) at GSI. The LINAC design is challenging, due to the requirement of intense beams in CW-mode up to a mass-to-charge ratio of 6 while covering a broad output energy range from 3.5 to 7.3 MeV/u with minimum energy spread. After sucessful tests with the first CH cavity in 2016 demonstrated a promising maximum accelerating gradient of Ea = 9.6 MV/m, recently first beam tests have been started as next milestone at GSI, confirming its flawless functionality*.

  Very compact accelerating-focusing structures, as well as short focusing periods, high accelerating gradients and very short drift spaces are strongly required for superconducting (sc) accelerator sections operating at low and medium beam energies. To keep the GSI-Super Heavy Element program competitive on a high level and even beyond, a standalone sc continuous wave Linac in combination with the GSI High Charge State injector, upgraded for cw-operation, is envisaged. The first LINAC section (financed by HIM and GSI) as a demonstration of the capability of 216 MHz multi gap Crossbar H-structures (CH) is still in the beam commissioning phase, while an accelerating gradient of 9.6 MV/m (4 K) at a sufficient quality factor has been already reached. Recently the overall Linac design, based on a standard cryomodule, comprising three CH cavities, a rebuncher section and two 9.3 T-solenoidal lenses, has to be fixed. This paper presents the status of the Linac layout studies as well as the integration in the GSI accelerator facility.

  The cw - Linac - demonstrator is a prototype of the first section of the proposed cw-LINAC@GSI, comprising a superconducting CH-cavity embedded by two superconducting solenoids. The sc CH-structure is the key component and offers a variety of research and development. The beam focusing solenoids provide maximum fields of 9.3 T at an overall length of 380 mm and a free beam aperture of 30 mm. The magnetic induction at the fringe is minimized to 50 mT at the inner NbTi-surface of the neighboring cavity. The fabrication of the key components is finished, as well as the cold performance testing of the RF cavity. The cryostat is ready for assembling and the test environment is completely prepared. After successful testing of the RF-Power coupler, the components will be assembled to the suspended frame under cleanroom conditions. Alignment, assembly, under cleanroom condition issues will be presented.

At Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, the Institute for Nuclear Physics is currently building the multiturn ERL 'Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator' MESA. The §I{1.3}{\giga\hertz} cryomodules are based on the ELBE modules at Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) but are modified to suit the high current, energy recovering purposes of MESA. With two 9-cell TESLA cavities each, they shall provide §I{50}{\mega\electronvolt} energy gain per turn. The design and fabrication was done by Research Instruments GmbH, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany. The current status of the cryomodules, the test set up at the Helmholtz-Institute Mainz, the cavity properties and their tests will be discussed.

  In the future the existing GSI-UNILAC (Universal Linear Accelerator) will primarily be used to provide high power heavy ion beams at a low repetition rate for the FAIR project (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research). To keep the ambitious Super Heavy Element (SHE) physics program at GSI competitive a superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) high intensity heavy ion LINAC is highly desirable to provide ion beams at or above the coulomb barrier [*]. The fundamental linac design composes a high performance ion source, a new low energy beam transport line, the High Charge State Injector (HLI) upgraded for cw, and a matching line (1.4 MeV/u) followed by the new sc-DTL LINAC for acceleration up to 7.3 MeV/u. The construction of the first demonstrator section has been finished in the 3rd quarter of 2016. It comprises the first crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavity with two sc 9.3 T solenoids and has been successfully tested in the end of 2016 [**]. Currently the next two sc 8 gap CH-cavities are under construction at Research Instruments (RI). First intermediate measurements during the fabrication process as well as the latest status of the construction phase will be presented.
