Abstract
The Heidelberg Ion-Beam Therapy Centre’s synchrotron makes use of the sextupole driven RF-KO method near the third-order resonance in order to slowly extract the beam that is delivered to the patients. The horizontal beam response of a coasting beam was studied experimentally and with simulations at extraction conditions in order to deduce regions of interest for an optimal excitation signal spectrum. Two narrow frequency regions were found where the beam reacts coherently. With these information an RF signal was proposed for the resonant slow extraction.
