  The GSI-UNILAC as well as the heavy ion synchrotron SIS18 will serve as a high current heavy ion injector for the FAIR synchrotron SIS100. In the context of an advanced machine investigation program acceleration and transport of space charge dominated argon beam inside entire UNILAC have been explored. The conducted high current argon beam measurements throughout the UNILAC-poststripper and transferline to SIS18 show a transversal emittance growth of only 35% for the design current of 7 emA (40Ar10+). By horizontal collimation of the UNILAC beam emittance, the space charge limit could be reached at slightly lower pulse currents, but accordingly longer injection times. Further improvements in brilliance can be expected from the planned upgrade measures, in particular on the high-current injector linac.

MOPOPA18 High Intensity Heavy Ion Beam Optimization at GSI UNILAC emittance, brilliance, operation, rfq 110

  To improve the UNILAC’s performance for the upcoming use as heavy ion injector for the FAIR accelerator chain, dedicated beam investigations have been carried out. In particular measurements with Bismuth and Uranium beams require the highest accelerating voltages and powers of the rf cavities, the rf transmitters and the magnet power converters. After four years without Uranium operation (resp. with Uranium, but restricted cavity voltages), the UNILAC has now been operated again with a performance close to that of former years. Several upgrade measures will improve the UNILAC capability. In combination with the prototype pulsed gas stripper with hydrogen gas, beam intensities not far below the FAIR requirements can already now be expected.

  The integration of the accelerator components in to the cryogenic module prototype (Advanced Demonstrator) is a major milestone of the R&D for the superconducting heavy ion continuous wave linear accelerator HELIAC at GSI. The HELIAC is joint project of Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) and GSI developed in collaboration with IAP Goethe University Frankfurt. This module is equipped with three superconducting (sc) Cross bar H-mode (CH) acceleration cavities CH0-CH2 and a sc rebuncher cavity, as well as two sc solenoids. The commissioning of the cryogenic module with Argon beam at GSI is scheduled for August 2023. In preparation for the beam test activities, the beamline, which connects the High Charge State Injector (HLI) with the testing area, has been installed. The beamline comprises a pair of phase probes for Time Of Flight (TOF) measurement of the incoming beam energy, quadrupole lenses and a 4-gap RF-buncher cavity. The beam diagnostics bench behind the cryo module is equipped with phase probe pairs, a slit-grid device, a bunch shape monitor (Feshenko monitor) for measurements of the longitudinal beam profile. The bench allows complete 6d characterization of the ion beam.

MOPORI13 On the UNILAC Pulsed Gas Stripper at GSI operation, target, vacuum, controls 258

  The UNILAC will serve as injector linac for heavy ion beams for the future FAIR, with the commissioning being anticipated in 2025. One of the crucial steps in the course of acceleration along the UNILAC is the stripping of the ions by a gas stripper in front of the main linac. Its efficiency is decisive in reaching the intensities required and may be increased by more than 50% by introducing hydrogen as stripping target, instead of the nitrogen used so far. This requires the stripper to be operated in a pulsed mode, since otherwise the pumping speed is not sufficient to maintain suitable vacuum conditions. The proof of principle was demonstrated in 2016*. A dedicated project aims for a setup suitable for routine operation. Main issues are safety, reliability and automated operation. We report on the development done since 2016 and give an overview of the realisation coming within the next few years. Results from systematic measurements on the properties of the valves and their impact on the properties of the stripping target are presented.

  The superconducting continuous wave (cw) heavy ion HElmholtz LInear ACcelerator (HELIAC) is intended to be built at GSI in Darmstadt. With its high average beam current and repetition rate, the HELIAC is designed to fulfill the requirements of the super heavy element (SHE) research user program and the material sciences community at GSI. The accelerating cavities are of the superconducting Crossbar H-mode (CH) type, developed by GUF. Within the Advanced Demonstrator project, the first cryomodule, consisting of four cavities is scheduled for commissioning with beam in 2023. The former RF power couplers introduced a high heat input into the cryostat. Therefore, the coupler is redesigned at HIM in order to not only reduce the heat input but to provide an overall improved power coupler for the HELIAC. It is designed for maximal power of 5 kW cw at the frequency of 216.816 MHz. A prototype has been tested and commissioned recently. This includes several RF-tests at room temperature and in cryogenic environments. The results of these tests will be presented in this paper.
