Since more than four decades, the University of Bonn supports research at the in-house electron accelerator ELSA. Presently, the polarized electrons gained from an inverted source are accumulated in a stretcher ring and accelerated within a fraction of a second up to 3.2 GeV. During the fast ramping various depolarizing resonances are crossed. By taking several expedient measures (closed orbit correction, tune jumping, etc.) a high polarization degree of up to 65% is reached. One important part of these measures is the harmonic correction of integer resonances. Those resonances are compensated by applying additional horizontal fields, distributed sinusoidally along an one-turn orbit length. In case of an appropriate setting of amplitude and phase, all resonance driving effects should be neutralized completely. First studies have shown that vertical displacements and resulting horizontal fields in the quadrupole magnets, caused by the resonance correction, have to be taken into account as well. With regard to a new correction scheme, the first experimental results confirmed by simulative and theoretical studies will be presented.
