The superconducting, heavy ion synchrotron SIS100 is the core of the new FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt, Germany. Its unique design is dedicated to the acceleration of intermediate charge state heavy ions. Several new technical approaches assure the stabilization of the vacuum dynamics and the minimization of charge related beam loss. Beside high intensity heavy ions, SIS100 will accelerate all ions from Protons to Uranium, and in spite of the fact that superconducting magnets are used, SIS100 shall be as flexible in ramping and cycling as a normal conducting synchrotron.

The international facility for antiproton and ion research (FAIR) is currently being developed in Darmstadt, Germany, for fundamental research in various fields of modern physics. Its main accelerator, the SIS100 heavy ion synchrotron, utilizes fast-cycling superconducting magnets operated at cryogenic temperatures. An intense measurement program of first of series (FoS) module revealed excellent behaviour with respect to, e.g., quench performance and AC losses. With an optimized fabrication technique, the geometrical accuracy was improved to be sufficient to provide a highly homogeneous field. Consequently, the series production of 110 dipoles was released. First significant results on the reproducibility and the variation of physical properties along the series production gained at the test facility of GSI are presented.

For the FAIR (Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research) accelerators, various technologies of superconducting magnets have been developed. In total, 613 superconducting magnets are required for the FAIR modularized start version. For the heavy ion synchrotron SIS100, which is the central accelerator under construction, fast ramped, iron dominated superconducting magnets of the Nuclotron type will be used. Due to the high beam intensity operation desired for SIS100, highest precision and reproducibility is requested for the iron yoke of these magnets. For the dipole magnets of SIS100 the series production has already been released. In parallel, the Super-FRS will be built for the generation of radioactive beams and for isotope separation. Huge aperture superconducting dipole magnets and multiplet modules are required for the main separator of the Super-FRS. For testing of the various types of sc magnets, three test facilities at GSI, JINR and CERN have been set-up. We give an overview on the modern design aspects for the different magnet types and their first test results and the preparation of the appropriate test facilities.
