The new accelerator SIS100 and the Super-FRS will be built at the international Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research FAIR. The synchrotron SIS100 is a core part of the FAIR facility which serves for acceleration of ions like Uranium up to 2.7 GeV/u with intensities of 3x10 11 particles per second or protons up to 30 GeV with intensities of 5x10 12 particles per second. The Super-FRS is a superconducting fragment separator, it will be able to separate all kinds of nuclear projectile fragments of primary heavy ion beams including Uranium with energies up to 1.5 GeV/u and intensities up to 3x10 11 particles per second. During operation activation of several components, especially the production target and the beam catchers will take place. For handling of highly activated components it is foreseen to have a hot cell with connected storage place. All calculations for the optimisation of the shielding design of the SIS100, the Super-FRS and the hot cell were performed using the Monte Carlo code FLUKA, results are presented.

“…The beam catchers are foreseen to absorb the primary beam at positions where its diameter is larger than at the target. In total six of these beam catchers are planned [12]. They are located in the first half of the Super-FRS pre-separator always following one of the 11° dipole magnets as it is shown in Fig.…”

“…This means that the initially high beam rate will be reduced more and more along the beamline ( Figure 10). Consequently, the activation levels differ by orders of magnitude along the Super-FRS tunnel [49], [50]. A detailed Super-FRS layout can be seen in Figure 10 with respective maximal beam intensities.…”

Remote Handling (RH) systems are now frequently used to conduct inspections and maintenance in hazardous environments. New particle accelerator facilities present unique logistic challenges due to high radiation levels, a hazardous environment and heavy loads. The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will deliver a beam of all ions up to uranium with intensities up to 10 12 238 U ions/s, which will cause high levels of radiation during operation so human access is limited. This paper contains a survey on RH logistics for existing High Intensity Beam (HIB) facilities to determine state of the art RH practices and to draw a conclusion based on the analysis. The second part of this paper presents a detailed study of beam losses, the radiation environment, RH logistic challenges and some proposed solutions for Super-FRS. This paper will also suggest a Systems Engineering (SE) approach for developing Super-FRS RH logistics.

“…Special considerations [4] like adding beam catchers and dividing a dipole stage into three dipole units have been taken in developing the layout shown in Figure 2. The approximate length and height of the target area are 25m and 5m, respectively.…”

“…One is to absorb the kinetic energy of the heavy ions that does not interact with the production target. The second is to shield the following parts of the separator from high levels of secondary radiation [4]. Since energy absorption and shielding require different types of materials [3], two successive types of beam catchers, as shown in Figure 7, are foreseen.…”

The Super-FRS, Superconducting Fragment Separator, is a unique machine that presents several challenging technical problems. One of these is regarding how to conduct maintenance in the target area where high levels of radiation will be generated and human access is forbidden. To address this problem the use of a remote maintenance system is foreseen. The objective of this paper is to develop a systems engineering (SE) research and development (R&D) approach suitable to develop the Super-FRS Target Area Remote Maintenance Systems (TARMS) and the RH design adaptation of the components in the target area. The Super-FRS target area is described in detail in order to introduce the need for a remote maintenance system. Components in the target area are classified by adopting ITER RH maintenance classification. The general scenario of remote handling and the current target area remote maintenance system are described. Finally, the proposed systems engineering approach is presented.
