Abstract The FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) accelerator facility presently under construction at GSI will supply a wide range of beam intensities for physics experiments. Design beam intensities range from 2.5·10¹³ protons/cycle to be delivered to the pBar-target and separator for production of antiprotons, to beams of e.g. 10⁹ ions/s in the case of slowly extracted beams. The large intensity range demands for dedicated beam current monitors for precise, non-destructive beam intensity measurements in the synchrotrons, transport lines and storage rings of the FAIR facility. This report describes GSI developments of purpose-built beam current monitors for the SIS100 synchrotron and high-energy beam transport lines (HEBT) of FAIR. Prototype measurements with a SQUID-based Cryogenic Current Comparator and a resonant beam charge transformer are presented, and possibilities for further upgrades are discussed.
