  The present heavy ion synchrotron SIS-18 will be upgraded to be used as a booster for further synchrotrons being part of the FAIR project underway at GSI. Recently, a method was developed to measure the physical aperture of SIS-18 using transverse RF noise. This method is based on the transverse expansion of the beam with noise beyond the limiting aperture generating beam loss. The aperture was determined from the comparison of the resulting time evolution of the beam current in the machine with that obtained from a numerical simulation. In this study we attempt to apply this method to determine the dynamic aperture of SIS-18.
