Abstract
To provide the primary proton beam for the FAIR antiproton research program, a 70 MeV, 70 mA linac is currently under design & construction at GSI.The nc machine comprises an ECR source, a 3 MeV RFQ, and a DTL based on CH-cavities.Up to 36 MeV pairs of rfcoupled cavities (CCH) are used.A prototype cavity has been built and is prepared for high power rf-testing.An overview of the status as well as on the perspectives of the project is given.
