During slow extraction of intense ion beams electron clouds (EC) can accumulate in the circulating coasting beam and reduce the extraction efficiency. This is a concern for the existing SIS-18 heavy ion synchrotron at GSI and for the projected SIS-100 as part of the FAIR project. For medium energy heavy-ion beams the production of electrons from residual gas ionization is very effective. The electron density is limited due to Coulomb scattering by the beam ions. Above a threshold beam intensity the two-stream instability and the resulting coherent beam oscillations limit the electron density. Below this threshold the electron cloud can lead to observable deformations of the Schottky side-bands. To avoid EC build-up one can introduce a gap in the beam using barrier rf bucket. The reduction of the build-up efficiency caused by the gap is studied in details based on the solution of the Hill's equation for electrons. Finally we estimate the saturation level for the electron cloud density.

THPS012	Simulation of the Generation and Transport of Laser-Accelerated Ion Beams	3445

	In the framework of the LIGHT project a dedicated test stand is under preparation at GSI for the transport and focusing of laser accelerated ion beams. The relevant acceleration mechanism for the parameters achievable at the GSI PHELIX laser is the TNSA (Target Normal Sheath Acceleration). The subsequent evolution of the ion beam can be described rather well by the isothermal plasma expansion model. This model assumes an initial dense plasma layer with a 'hot' electron component and 'cold' ions. We will present 1D and 2D simulation results obtained with the VORPAL code on the expansion of the beam and on the cooling down of the neutralizing electrons. The electrons and their temperature can play an important role for the focusing of the beam in a solenoid magnet, as foreseen in the GSI test stand. We will discuss possible controlled de-neutralization schemes using external magnet fields.

MOPS052	Analytical and Numerical Calculations of Beam Pipe Impedances at Low Frequencies with Application to Thin SIS100 Pipe	721
	U. Niedermayer, O. Boine-Frankenheim, L. Hänichen TEMF, TU Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany
	The projected fast ramped synchrotron SIS100 for FAIR uses an elliptical stainless steel beam pipe of 0.3 mm thickness. The lowest coherent betatron sidebands reach down to 100 kHz which demands accurate impedance calculations in the low frequency (LF) regime. For these frequencies, i.e. skin depth greater than wall thickness, structures behind the pipe may contribute to the impedance. Due to the extremely large wake length numerical methods in the time domain are not applicable. The longitudinal and transverse impedance of the thin SIS100 beam pipe including structures behind the pipe are obtained numerically by a method using power loss in the frequency domain. We compare different analytical models for simplified pipe structures to the numerical results. The dc and ultra-relativistic limits are investigated. The interpretation of bench measurements in the LF regime is discussed.

WEPC094	Energy Loss and Longitudinal Wakefield of Relativistic Short Ion Bunches in Electron Clouds	2229
	F. Yaman, O. Boine-Frankenheim, E. Gjonaj, T. Weiland TEMF, TU Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany G. Rumolo CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	Funding: Work supported by BMBF under contract 06DA9022I The aim of our study is the numerical computation of the wakefield, impedance and energy loss for an energetic, short (< 10 ns) ion bunch penetrating an electron cloud plasma residing in the beam pipe. We use a 3-D self-consistent and higher order PIC code based on the full-wave solution of the Maxwell equations in the time domain. In our simulations we observe the induced density oscillations in the electron cloud in the longitudinal as well as in the transverse directions. A special numerical procedure is applied to compute the longitudinal wake potential and the broadband coupling impedance due to the beam-electron cloud interaction. The code is applied to the case of the CERN SPS and the projected SIS-100 at GSI. The effects of the beam pipe, electron density, bunch intensity and external magnetic dipole fields are studied. The results are compared to analytical and numerical models of reduced complexity.

THPS001	Experimental Studies of Beam Loss during Low Energy Operation with Electron Cooled Heavy Ions in the ESR	3424
	P.A. Görgen, O. Boine-Frankenheim TEMF, TU Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany S. Appel, C. Dimopoulou, S.A. Litvinov, M. Steck GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
	At the ESR at GSI electron cooled heavy ion beams are decelerated to 4 MeV/u and extracted for the HITRAP experiment. We will report about cooling equilibrium measurements at 4 and 30 MeV/u for Ar¹⁸⁺ coasting beams. We compare the equilibrium beam parameters with results from beam dynamics simulations using the BETACOOL code and an analytic model of reduced complexity. The time slot in which HITRAP accepts beam is 2μs long. For optimum efficiency the beam has to be bunched to this length before extraction. The obtained bunch profiles are compared to longitudinal beam dynamics simulations. Our measurements show that at both energies bunching leads to severe beam loss. The estimated transverse space charge tune shifts during the rf bunching indicate that resonance crossing might be responsible for the observed the beam loss. The influence of the tune shift will be further evaluated through resonance measurements.
