The problem of the magnetic field optimization of a 4T dipole magnet with circular aperture of 100-110 mm for rapid cycling synchrotron is considered. A single layer low inductance coil made of hollow superconducting high current cable operating at 30 kA is used. The magnetic field ramp rate up to 4 T/s should be achievable. Mathematical method to minimize sextupole and higher order non-linearities to the tolerable values by variation of angular coil turn position is developed. The results of numerical simulation for 2D part magnetic field are presented. The further possibilities to improve the field quality for similar lattice magnets and their application for heavy ion synchrotrons and boosters are discussed.

The first experiments with the Nuclotron Beam Slow Extraction System (BES) were carried out in December 1999. After the BES commissioning, the development of the system was continued together with experiments on relativistic nuclear physics. To realize the constant-current-beam or the constant-time-length spill and to suppress the low frequency spill structure in the range up to several hundred hertz, a spill control subsystem was designed and put into operation. It consists of a feedback loop in parallel with a feed-forward control. In the feedback loop the extracted particle flux is measured with beam current monitor and is compared with the request flux. The resulting error signal is fed into a feedback controller. The controller is an analog unit in which integration, differentiation and gain can be adjusted separately. The output control signal is added to the extraction quadrupoles power supply pattern generated by the corresponding function generator. The beam spill control subsystem has been improved in stages since its commissioning in 2000. The beam spill duration of more than 10s and the beam spill uniformity of about 0.9 were achieved in recent Nuclotron runs.
