  The paper presents the status of the transverse tune measurements in the synchrotron SIS18 at GSI. Presently, there are two systems for tune measurements in operation in the SIS18, namely TOPOS (Tune, Orbit and POsition measurement System) and BBQ (Base Band tune measurement system). The first one is a digital system where the BPM signal is digitized and the bunch position is calculated numerically. The second system is an analog system, where the transverse bunch motion is detected using peak detector. Band limited noise and chirp excitations were used to excite the betatron oscillations. Measurements of the betatron tune spectra were done at injection energy at medium and high intensities. In the frequency spectra a number of peaks around the position of betatron tune were seen. The peaks can be attributed to different bunch head-tail modes which were observed in time domain. These modes were dependent on the beam intensity. In this paper we compare the tune spectra measured at high beam intensity with the theoretical model for the space charge affected head-tail modes.

  Online profile diagnostic is preferred to monitor intense hadron beams at the Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). One instrument for beam profile measurement is the gas based Beam Induced Fluorescence (BIF)-monitor. It relies on the optical fluorescence of residual gas, excited by beam particles. In front of production targets for radioactive ion beams or in plasma physics applications, vacuum constraints are less restrictive and allow a sufficient number of fluorescence photons, even at minimum ionizing energies. Unwanted effects like radiation damage and radiation induced background need to be addressed as well. A profile comparison of BIF and Ionization Profile Monitor (IPM) in nitrogen and rare gases is presented. We studied the BIF method from 10-3 to 30 mbar with an imaging spectrograph. Preferable fluorescence transitions and fundamental limitations are discussed.
