Description
The new project, based on a reversed HITRAP (Highly charged Ion Trap) facility to a PARTIH (PARTicle Injector Hitrap), will provide the first ion beam for the commissioning of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) and at the same time deliver a sufficient beam intensity of carbon ions to meet some basic experimental requirements already in 2027. To achieve this, accelerator cavities with existing radio-frequency-quadrupole (RFQ) infrastructure together with an interdigital H-type linac including a triplet and steerer, as well as, a room temperature Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source, will be installed within the transfer line of the SIS18 synchrotron during a limited installation period.
The ECR ion source is required to produce a 12C5+ in order to stay within the constraint of the accelerator of a maximum mass to charge ratio m/q < 2.6, with an intensity of tens of µAs and an injection energy 6 keV/u at the RFQ entrance. The current status of the ECR ion source, the newly developed low-energy beam transport (LEBT) system, and the associated accelerator infrastructure designed to support the PARTIH project to deliver a first beam to the FAIR facility are presented here.
