Abstract
A Spiral-RFQ (Radio-Frequency Quadrupole Accelerator) has been built a nd operated with Ar+ beams up to 8 mA. The aim of the experiment was t he test of the RFQ for the High-Current Injector (HSI), which is plann ed at GSI to fill the Heavy Ion Synchrotron (SIS) up to its space char ge limit. This Spiral-RFQ, a prototype for the HSI-RFQ, covers the cru cial matching and bunching section of the electrodes. It is capable to produce ion beams of high brilliance, thus being a prototype for an i mplanter for heavy singly-charged metallic ions. The results of recent beam experiments with Ar+ will be presented.
