Description

We present operational statistics for the GSI accelerator complex during the FAIR construction phase from 2012 to 2025, covering UNILAC, SIS18, ESR, HEST and CRYRING@ESR. The analysis is based on beam-time schedules, availability monitoring, and fault annotations from the Operator Logbook (OLOG). During the last five years, failure entries were systematically reviewed and reclassified to ensure consistent data quality and enable reliable long-term trend evaluation. The main performance indicator discussed is accelerator availability, determined from scheduled operation periods and fault-related downtimes. The evaluated data were used as a quantitative input in the recent POF-5 evaluation process (2028-2034), where they clearly supported refurbishment and consolidation needs at GSI. A technical roadmap was established this year to prioritize these measures according to their impact on stable beam delivery towards FAIR accelerators.
