Abstract

The Super-FRS will be a large-acceptance two-stage superconducting fragment separator with three exit branches serving different experimental areas. Due to the high primary-beam intensity of up to 10¹² ions/s a challenging design of the target area and the components used in the first dipole Super-FRS is necessary. These efforts include high-power production targets, beam-dumps to catch the remaining primary beam, and radiation resistant magnets. In this contribution we summarize the recent developments on these issues.
