Schwab May 2013 SIS-18 RF KNOCK-OUT OPTIMISATION STUDIES Markus Kirk, David Ondreka, Peter Spiller (GSI Darmstadt, Planckstraße 1, D Darmstadt) IPAC 2013 Shanghai, PRC ABSTRACT The extraction efficiency of the SIS-18 heavy ion synchrotron and temporal structure of its spill are part of the upgrades to the GSI accelerator complex. Losses to the extraction septum can be minimised through implementation of the Hardt condition resulting however in a poorer quality of the spill microstructure at resolutions of a few s due to lowering of the horizontal chromaticity from its ‘natural’ value. Ways to improve the extraction efficiency and spill microstructure are investigated with a tracking code. One possibility for improvement may be to use an alternative modulation applied to the RF knock-out exciter.
