2. Peter Spiller, FAIR monthly 07 Beam Parameters SIS100 Heavy Ion Operation U 28+ : Fast Extract.: 5x10 11 ppp Slow Extract. Possible Proton Operation p: Fast Extract.: 2.5 5x10 13 ppp SIS300 Heavy Ion Stretcher Mode U 28+ : Slow Extract.: 3x10 11 pps (d.c.) Heavy Ion High Energy Mode U 92+ : Slow Extract.: 1x10 10 pps Bottleneck is SIS18 ! Challenging and unique operation at the limit to vacuum instability defines the number of particles in SIS100

5. Peter Spiller, FAIR monthly 07 1. High Intensity- and Compressor Stage SIS100 with fast-ramped superconducting magnets and a strong bunch compression system. Intermediate charge state ions e.g. U 28+ -ions up to 2.7 GeV/u Protons up to 30 GeV FBTR: B = 100 Tm - B max = 2 T - dB/dt = 4 T/s (straight dipoles) B = 100 Tm - B max = 1.9 T - dB/dt = 3.8 T/s (curved dipoles 2. High Energy- and Stretcher Stage SIS300 with superconducting high-field magnets and stretcher function. Highly charges ions e.g. U 92+ -ions up to 34 GeV/u Intermediate charge state ions U 28+ - ions at 1.5 to 2.7 GeV/u with 100% duty cycle FBTR: B = 300 Tm - B max = 6 T - dB/dt = 1 T/s (short, straight dipoles) B = 300 Tm - B max = 4.5 T - dB/dt = 1 T/s (long curved dipole) Two Stage Synchrotron SIS100/300

6. Peter Spiller, FAIR monthly 07 Sagitta of straight dipoles has defined the acceptance Beam displacement in the fringe field and middle of the straight magnets enhance errors Maximum required dipole and quadrupole field too high Field properties questionable Increased apertures compared to the original Nuclotron magnets: a) Higher current requirements b) Enhanced AC loss and reduced quench stability c) Higher stored energy > Quench protection scheme difficult and requires cable modification (number of strands) Magnets: SIS100 Magnet Redefinition Curved SIS100 Dipole Magnet Prolongated SIS100 Quadrupole Magnet

7. Peter Spiller, FAIR monthly 07 Magnets: SIS300 Magnet Redefinition The cos magnets (SIS300) consume more space than superferric magnets (SIS100) and are just suitable for the small circumference. a) Not sufficient space in the arcs for the FBTR doublet lattice cell > FODO lattice b) Dipole sagitta limits the acceptance (acceptable in strong focusing lattices) Reason: The effective field length in iron dominated magnets is longer than the yoke. The effective field length in co magnets is much Shorter than the cold mass. SIS100 defines the ratio between the straight section and arc length.

8. Peter Spiller, FAIR monthly 07 Several model magnets for R&D on AC loss, field quality and mechanical aspects (JINR) Three prototype dipole magnets for SIS100 are in production (two straight (BNG, JINR) and one bent (BINP) Design review approval Delivery in 2008 Bent SIS300 prototype dipole magnet is in preparation (INFN) String test required (2009-2010) approval for cryomagnetic integration of all components Magnets: Magnet Development

9. Peter Spiller, FAIR monthly 07 Structure: SIS100 Focusing Modules Quadrupol unit of the arc includes sextupole, BPM and collimator (used also for pumping) Quadrupole unit of the straights includes BPM, sextupole and pumping chamber Dipole Moduls Two standard quadrupole units, but many exceptions ! Big engineering effort for preplanning of cryomagnetic modules. SIS100 missing dipole, doublet structure has kept unchanged.

10. Peter Spiller, FAIR monthly 07 Doublet Lattice base on short straight dipoles Doublet Lattice base on short straight dipoles FBTR SIS 300 Lattice Structure: SIS300 Structure Redefinition New SIS 300 Lattice Small ring circumference and matching to SIS100 geometry requires FODO lattice in SIS300 and curved dipole magnets. Advantages a) chromaticity correction without significant DA reduction b) slow extraction with reasonable s.c. septum strength FODO Lattice based on long (and short) curved dipoles

11. Peter Spiller, FAIR monthly 07 Extraction The new missing dipole arc of SIS300 avoids lateral displacement between SIS100 and SIS300 and enables the bypassing of the SIS100 extraction line and thereby vertical extraction of both synchrotrons.
