Description

The SIS100 synchrotron, currently under construction as part of the FAIR project, is set to play a pivotal role in advancing high-intensity ion beam research. Reaching the FAIR design intensities for low charge-state heavy ions, e.g. the reference ion U28+ will, however, be challenging due to limitations of the existing SIS18 synchrotron serving as injector to SIS100. In the long-term, the integration of a new linear accelerator capable of delivering high-intensity ion beams at energies up to 200 MeV/u would open the possibility of direct multi-turn injection (MTI) into SIS100, bypassing the SIS18. This paper investigates the MTI process for U28+ beams, aiming to accumulate up to 5x1E11 particles per cycle with high efficiency and minimal particle losses on the electrostatic septum. We present a theoretical analysis of horizontal-plane MTI, outline achievable beam performance, and discuss system requirements. Additionally, the proposed layout and parameters of the MTI equipment are detailed.
