The synthesis of Super Heavy Elements (SHE) is an active field in nuclear physics. Thereby, research in accelerator technology, contributing to synthesis of SHEs, is strongly motivated. At GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research, where the elements 107 to 112 were discovered, the new HElmholtz LInear ACcelerator (HELIAC) is currently under construction. As a state-of-the-art continuous-wave (CW) superconducting accelerator for stable heavy ion beams, the HELIAC offers output energies in between 3.5 MeV/u and 7.3 MeV/u with outstanding precision for the SHE research community.
Still, for superconducting accelerators, cost substantially increases with the size of their cryo cooling system, limiting space for beam diagnotics elements. In this contribution a real-time, live simulation tool - the Advanced Demonstrator Simulator -, which was operated in parallel to beam tests in Q4 2023, will be presented. The main goal of this Advanced Demonstrator Simulator is the precise modelling and prediction of heavy ion beams inside the first HELIAC cryomodule conducting multi-particle simulations by implementing a digital twin of the actual machine. Beneficially, operators obtain massive gains in information, potentially resulting in faster tuning of the accelerator with increased precision. Furthermore, the interactive design of the tool enables calibration processes to be practised and post-processing of data in a well-organized manner.
