At the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt the heavy-ion synchrotron SIS18 is operated to further accelerate stable nuclei of elements with different atomic numbers. Two ferrite-loaded cavity resonators are installed within this ring. During the acceleration phase their resonance frequency has to be adjusted to the revolution frequency of the heavy-ions to reflect their increasing speed. To this end, dedicated biased ferrite-ring cores are installed inside the cavities for a broad frequency tuning. By properly choosing a suited bias current, the differential permeability of the ferrite material is modified, which finally enables to adjust the eigenfrequency of the resonator system. Consequently, the actual resonance frequency strongly depends on the magnetic properties of the ferrites. The goal of the current study is to numerically determine the lowest eigensolutions of the GSI SIS18 ferrite-loaded cavity. For this purpose, a new solver based on the Finite Integration Technique has been developed.
