TH3I1	A Novel CW RFQ for Exotic and Stable Beams	156
	A. Palmieri, L. Bellan, M. Comunian, L. Ferrari, A. Pisent, C.R. Roncolato INFN/LNL, Legnaro (PD), Italy
	The SPES RFQ is designed in order to accelerate beams in CW with A/q ratios from 3 to 7 from the Charge Breeder through the MRMS and the selection and injection lines up to the MEBT (Medium Energy Beam Transport). The RFQ is composed of 6 modules about 1.2 m long each. Each module is basically composed of a Stainless Steel Tank and four OFE Copper Electrodes. A copper layer is plated on the tank inner surface and a spring joint between tank and electrode is used in order to seal the RF. In this contribution, the main design steps of the RFQ, the construction concepts and the results obtained for the first assembled modules are shown.

	The continuous wave (CW) operated HElmholtz LInear ACcelerator (HELIAC) is going to reach the next milestone with the commissioning of the superconducting (SC) Advanced Demonstrator cryomodule, comprising four SC Crossbar H-mode (CH) cavities and SC steerer magnets. In parallel with the commissioning of the SC main accelerator, the normal conducting injector consisting of an ECR ion source, a RFQ and two Interdigital H-mode (IH) cavities will be built based on an Alternating Phase Focusing (APF) beam dynamics scheme. Both IH cavities will provide a beam energy gain from 300 keV/u to 1400 keV/u with a maximum mass to charge ratio of 6, requiring only one external quadrupole triplet and beam steerer elements between them. The APF concept allows stable and effective beam transport with transverse and longitudinal focusing, enabling an efficient and compact design. Due to the stringent requirements of the APF concept on the voltage distribution and the CW operation, optimization of each cavity in terms of RF, mechanical and thermal properties is crucial for successful operation of the HELIAC injector. The current layout of the APF based and CW operated injector will be presented.

TH3C3	Recent UNILAC Upgrade Activities	166

	The GSI UNILAC is the section of the GSI accelerator facility that has been in operation the longest. UNILAC is able to accelerate ions from hydrogen to ura-nium up to 20 MeV (p⁺) and 13 MeV/u (uranium). The main focus of the recent upgrade measures is to meet the FAIR requirements and to provide reliable and long term beam operation conditions. Besides post stripper upgrade and upgrade of the UNILAC controls, a particular atten-tion is paid to improve the performance of the High Current Injector (HSI) [1-7] and to intensify spare part management for the ageing accelerator. In order to en-sure operational reliability, the main focus lies on exten-sive spare part management and replacement of outdated equipment. Modified beam dynamics design for the frontend system and the use of advanced technologies are needed to improve the UNILAC performance. Among other things, a modified Low and Medium Energy Beam Transport section design for the HSI and installation of reliable (non-destructive) high intensity beam diagnos-tics devices are in progress. This paper addresses the status of current development efforts and specific plans for the UNILAC upgrade.
