| THPEB002 | Study on Particle Loss during Slow Extraction from SIS-100 | 3876 |

The heavy ion synchrotron SIS-100 will play a key role within the future FAIR project underway at GSI. Although this synchrotron is optimized for fast extraction, also slow extraction will be used. Slow extraction is based on beam excitation due to a third order resonance. The spread in the particle momenta generating a tune spread causes particle loss leading to an irradiation of the machine especially in a high-current operation. A major part of the losses is assumed to occur at the electro-static separator. In the present study we apply a tracking method to model the extraction process to predict the losses, where, in a first step, high current effects are not taken into account. |

The present heavy ion synchrotron SIS-18 will be upgraded to be used as a booster for further synchrotrons being part of the FAIR project underway at GSI. We present a technique to measure the acceptance of an accelerator based on the extension of a previous method by the measurement of particle loss which we have applied to SIS-18. Here, we used an RF voltage to transversally excite a coasting heavy ion beam. The resulting transverse growth of the beam leads to particle loss when the beam width exceeds the limiting aperture. The acceptance has been determined from the time evolution of the beam current measured after particle have started to hit the aperture. |
