  Ion stripping is primarily an essential technique for heavy ion accelerators in order to reach higher beam energies within reasonable size and budget limits. Due to the nature of the stripping process, the resulting ion beam contains ions of different charge states. Therefore, high beam loss is typically associated, making the net stripping efficiency one of the decisive elements of the overall performance of an accelerator or facility. Several technical implementations of strippers have been and are still being developed in order to obtain optimal stripping for different ions and beam energies by employing different kinds of stripping targets, namely gaseous, solid and more recently fluid materials. High beam intensities resulting in prohibitive energy deposition and target destruction are challenging. Optimizing a stripper may potentially increase the overall performance by a large factor with less effort than other actions. This gave rise to the pulsed gas stripper project at the GSI UNILAC. This talk will give an overview of different strippers at GSI and beyond. The second part will give a detailed report on the introduction of hydrogen at the GSI gas stripper.

  The synchrotron SIS100 at FAIR accelerator complex at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum will generate heavy ion beams of ultimate intensities. As medium charge states have to be used, the probability for charge exchange in collisions with residual gas particles of such ions is much lager than for higher charge states. In the last years, several measures have lowered the residual gas density to extreme high vacuum conditions. For example 55% of the circumference of SIS18 have already been coated with NEG, which provides high and distributed pumping speed. Nevertheless, this coating does not pump nobel and nobel-like components, which have very high ionization cross sections. A cryogenic environment at e.g. 50-80K provides a high pumping speed for all heavy residual gas particles. The only typical residual gas particle that cannot be pumped at this temperature is hydrogen. With the pumping speed of an additional NEG coating in these areas, the pumping will be optimized for all residual gas particles. The installation of cryogenic installations in the existing room temperature synchrotron SIS18 at GSI has been investigated. Measurements on a prototype chamber and simulations of SIS18 with cryogenic installations based on these measurements are presented.
