Abstract The Cryogenic Current Comparator (CCC) is a superconducting device based on an ultrasensitive SQUID (fT range). Measuring the beam¿s azimuthal magnetic field, it provides a calibrated non-destructive measurement of beam current with a resolution of 10 nA or better, independent from ion species and without tedious calibrations procedure. The non-interceptive absolute intensity measurement of weak ion beams (< 1 µA) is essential in heavy ion storage rings and in transfer lines at FAIR. With standard diagnostics, this measurement is challenging for bunched beams and virtually impossible for coasting beams. To improve the performance of the detector several upgrades are under study and development: One is the investigation of a new type of CCC using an alternative magnetic shield geometry. The so-called ‘axial¿ geometry will allow for much higher magnetic shielding factor, an increased pick-up area, and a lower low frequencies noise component. Further improvements and optimizations of the detector will be presented. The CCC will be tested on the beamline at the end of 2023 allowing to define the best possible version for FAIR.
