MOPC077	Commissioning of Multibunch Feedback Systems at the Fast Ramping Stretcher Ring ELSA	250
	A. Roth, F. Frommberger, N. Heurich, W. Hillert, M. Schedler, R. Zimmermann ELSA, Bonn, Germany
	Funding: Supported by German Research Foundation through SFB/TR 16 and by Helmholtz Alliance through HA-10¹. At the Electron Stretcher Facility ELSA of Bonn University, an external beam of either unpolarized or polarized electrons is supplied to hadron physics experiments. The ELSA stretcherring operates in the energy range of 1.2 to 3.5 GeV and achieves a duty cycle of up to 80% using a fast energy ramp of 4 GeV/s. Under these conditions, an increase of the internal beam current from an actual value of 20 mA up to 200 mA is planned. Such an upgrade is mainly limited by the excitation of multibunch instabilities. As one active counteraction, we have installed state-of-the-art bunch-by-bunch feedback systems for the longitudinal, as well as for both transverse planes. The detailed setup with all main components and first results of the commissioning of the systems will be presented. In particular, the performance of the longitudinal feedback with a stabilized synchrotron frequency during the fast energy ramp will be discussed.

TUPC073	Emittance Variation Dependence on Resonance Extraction Parameters at ELSA	1168
	S. Zander, O. Boldt, F. Frommberger, W. Hillert, O. Preisner ELSA, Bonn, Germany
	Funding: Funded by the DFG within the SFB / TR 16. The Electron Stretcher Facility ELSA consists of several accelerator stages, the last one being a stretcher ring providing a beam of polarized electrons with an energy of up to 3.5~GeV. In order to guarantee a high duty cycle, a slow extraction via a third integer resonance is applied to the stretcher ring. The emittance of the extracted beam as well as the efficiency of the extraction process depend on different parameters as the sextupole strength being necessary for the excitation of the third integer resonance or the adjusted tune. In order to optimize the quality of the extracted beam, an accurate comprehension of the influence of these parameters is indispensable. Beam profiles are detected using dedicated synchrotron light monitors optimized for low intensities. The emittance was investigated by the method of quadrupole scan. The experimental studies are accompanied by numerical simulation studies. The results of the change of the emittance depending on different resonance extraction setups obtained by the experimental as well as by the theoretical studies will be presented.

WEPC052	Spinor Based Calculation of Depolarizing Effects in Circular Lepton Accelerators	2130
	O. Boldt, A. Dieckmann, F. Frommberger, W. Hillert ELSA, Bonn, Germany
	Funding: BMBF The emission of synchrotron radiation strongly influences the beam dynamics in case of ultra relativistic leptons. When storing or accelerating leptons in circular accelerators, the acting magnetic field shows an oscillating behavior in the rest frame of the leptons. Its properties can be determined by a spectral analysis. The stochastic emission of synchrotron light leads to a line broadening within the magnetic field spectrum. This spectrum can be used to simulate depolarizing effects in circular accelerators. Our contribution will present a tracking based calculation of the mentioned spectrum and a spinor-based determination of the resulting population of the spin-up state. These calculations base on the lattice of the electron stretcher accelerator (ELSA, Bonn) and are confirmed by measurements of the polarization.

WEPC053	Crossing of Depolarizing Resonances in Circular Electron Accelerators	2133
	W. Hillert, A. Balling, O. Boldt, A. Dieckmann, F. Frommberger ELSA, Bonn, Germany
	Funding: Supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) through SFB/TR 16 In flat electron storage rings, only the vertical component of the beam polarization is preserved. During acceleration, the crossing of several depolarizing resonances may cause severe beam depolarization. Even in case of fast ramping speeds of up to 6 GeV/sec, first order effects like imperfection and intrinsic resonances have to be compensated by dedicated measures. At the accelerator facility ELSA, schemes like fast tune jumping and harmonic orbit correction are successfully applied on the fast energy ramp up to 3.2 GeV. Characteristics of the setup as well as the optimization efforts to improve the resonance compensation will be reported in detail.
