    Brief

    Laboratorie-, optisk- og presisjonsutstyr

    FAIR - Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH needs the development and series production of current-to-frequency converters (IFCs) for the SIS100 project, to be delivered in Darmstadt, Kreisfreie Stadt, Germany, over a period of 9 months. The project involves the further development of IFC hardware to meet FAIR parameters and subsequent mass production of IFC devices, including power supply crates, for beam diagnostics in particle accelerators. Suppliers must provide a business and professional liability declaration with an insured sum covering at least twice the order value, a company profile detailing general company data and employee numbers for the last three fiscal years (administration, development/design, production), and descriptions of three comparable reference projects in beam instrumentation for particle accelerators, with at least one related to high-precision beam intensity measurements and development projects of comparable size, not older than 5 years, and with a comparable contract scope in particle accelerator facilities or light sources.

    About the bid

      The international research facility FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) is currently under construction at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. This project requires numerous different types of detectors for beam diagnostics, including ionization chambers and secondary electron emission monitors. A key component of the design for these detector types is the current-to-frequency converter (IFC), which is used to measure current signals in the nano- and microampere range. The required systems are distributed across the various accelerator facilities on the FAIR campus. Prototype versions of the IFCs have been in use at GSI for some time. As part of this call for proposals, the IFC hardware is to be gradually further developed for the FAIR parameters and, in a second step, produced in series. Under this call for proposals, the IFC hardware is to be further developed in stages to meet the FAIR parameters and, in a second phase, put into mass production. The IFC devices including power supply crates are to be offered in accordance with the specifications.
