  The proposed Mu2e experiment to search for direct μ to e conversion at Fermilab plans slow, resonant extraction of a beam with 3× 1012 protons from the Debuncher ring. Space charge of this high intensity beam is a critical factor, since it induces significant betatron tune spread and consequently affects resonance extraction processes, such as spill uniformity and beam losses. This study shows the multi-particle simulation results in the early stages of resonance extraction and spill uniformity in the presence of 2D and 3D space charge effects.
