title: High current ion beam transport using solenoids.
abstract: In the framework of the future project FAIR several upgrade programs and construction of new facilities are in progress such as the U(4+) upgrade for the existing high current injector and the new 70 MeV proton injector. For both injectors solenoids in the low energy beam transport section are foreseen to inject the beam into the following rf accelerator. The paper presents beam quality measurements of high current ion beams behind a solenoid using a slit-grid emittance measurement device, viewing targets, and a pepper pot measurement device at the high current test bench at GSI.
