“…Key components of the synchrotron are the fast-ramping (up to 4 T/s) superconducting magnets, enabling short cycles, as well as dedicated rf bunch compression cavities, enabling the extraction of a single, short (50 ns) ion bunch at the end of the cycle. All magnet systems are in production, most of the dipole magnets are already tested sucessfully [7], showing highest precision in field quality, matching the requirements for low loss operation with space charge. Besides charge stripping, space charge induced resonance crossing is expected to be a main beam loss mechanism for intense heavy ion beams in SIS100 at injection energy.…”
