Status of the Compact LEBT Project

To fulfil the intensity requirements for FAIR, a dedicated high current uranium ion source and Low Energy Beam Transport line will be built at the High Current Injector HSI [1]. This new injection line (Compact-LEBT) will be integrated into the existing complex with two branches, designed as a straight injection line without bending magnet (fig. 1). The joint use of the existing matching line (from switching magnet to RFQ) is foreseen.
