Peter Spiller, CBM collaboration meeting GSI-Darmstadt 11. February 2004 Status of the future accelerator project

Injector (UNILAC) Status Significant progress with UNILAC and source development Status of uranium currents in TK9 (SIS Injection) (machine experiments) : U mA U mA Expected number of particles in SIS : U x 10 9 (MIT x15) U x (MIT x15) Highest Beam Intensity achieved in SIS18 for U 73+ : 4.5 x 10 9 (Dec MEVVA ion source and MTI) Goal of the CBM injector chain (parameter list) : 4 x 10 10

Dynamic Vacuum and Beam Life Time Measured (Dec. 2003) : 29 % losses at 6.5 x 10 9 ions Calculated : 40 % losses at 1x10 10 Ions Beam-wall interaction creates desorption gases which increase the residual gas pressure  Reduced beam life time  Intensity limitation  Enhanced losses SIS18 acceleration Dec. 2003
