  A proposal to search for direct mu->e conversion at Fermilab requires slow, resonant extraction of an intense proton beam. Large space charge forces will present challenges, partly due to the substantial betatron tune spread. The main challenges will be maintaining a uniform spill shape and moderate losses at the septum. We propose to use "radio frequency knockout" (RFKO) for fine tuning the extraction. Strategies for the RFKO method will be discussed here in the context of the mu->e experiment. Feasibility of this method has been demonstrated using simulations.
