Session 3: Beam quality and improving spill structure
- Verena Kain (CERN)
- Sergey Ivanov (Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP))
We will present a short overview of the experimental requirements on the spill quality with an emphasis on the CERN North Area experiments. Together with a short introduction of categories of users at CERN, the main characteristics of the experiments concerning instantaneous intensity, monitoring and impact of non-flat spill structures will be discussed. Finally, a list of possible...
At the p/12C6+ synchrotron of the Marburg Ion-Beam Therapy Centre we use slow extraction by transverse noise (KO-) excitation. The system is equipped with a Dynamic Intensity Control (DIC) loop allowing fast modulation of the spill rate during extraction. By careful adjustment of the exciter noise spectrum relative to the small-amplitude particle tune and the extraction tune, it is possible to...
