Description
The FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) accelerator complex is under
construction at the GSI campus in Darmstadt in Germany. In the current realisation phase it consists of about 2km of beam vacuum system, where the vacuum requirements are different for almost all machines. While in the fast ramped SIS100 one has to deal with cryogenic and bakeable at room temperature operated sections with static vacuum pressure in the lower $10^{-12}$ mbar regime, the high energy beam transfer system has moderate vacuum requirements of $10^{-8}$ mbar. In the Super-FRS one has beside the moderate vacuum of $10^{-6}$ mbar to $10^{-8}$ mbar to cope with a high radiation area close to the target.
With beginning of this year the projects entered a new phase as the first components are installed in the accelerator tunnel, while the civil construction and procurement of components is still ongoing.
An update on the status of the vacuum system will be presented.
