  The matter-antimatter asymmetry might be understood by investigating the EDM (Electric Dipole Moment) of elementary charged particles. A permanent EDM of a subatomic particle violates time-reversal and parity symmetry at the same time and would be, with the currently achievable experimental accuracy, a strong indication for physics beyond the Standard Model. The JEDI-Collaboration (Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations) in Jülich is preparing a direct EDM measurement for protons and deuterons: first at the storage ring COSY (COoler SYnchrotron) and later at a dedicated storage ring. A prototype EDM ring is an intermediate step before building the final storage ring to demonstrate sufficient beam lifetime and SCT (Spin Coherence Time) in a pure electrostatic ring as well as in a storage ring with combined electric and magnetic bending elements. In order to study the effect of E-B-deflectors on the orbit and the spin motion, the software library Bmad is used. The first results of the optics and spin simulations, with a focus on the optimization of the SCT, towards the prototype EDM ring will be discussed.

  A fast tune measurement is developed for the Cooler Synchrotron COSY at the Institut für Kernphysik of Forschungszentrum Jülich. Betatron oscillations of the beam are excited with a band-limited RF signal via a stripline kicker. Resonant transverse oscillations are then observed using capacitive beam position monitors. Based on the bunch-by-bunch beam position data the betatron tune is determined. The usage of bunch-by-bunch data is characteristic of the new system. It allows for a discrete tune measurement within a few milliseconds, as well as continuous tune monitoring during beam acceleration. The high precision tune measurement also enables determination of the beam chromaticity. Therefore, the beam momentum is varied by means of the RF frequency and the subsequent tune change is determined. For routine use during beam operation and experiments, the developed method is integrated into the control system.

The JEDI (Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations) collaboration is searching for Electric Dipol Moments (EDMs) of charged particles in storage rings. In a stepwise approach, a first direct deuteron EDM measurement was performed at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY and design studies for a dedicated proton EDM storage ring are underway. In an experiment with a polarized beam in a storage ring, an EDM leads to a vertical polarization buildup. However, the vertical polarization component is also induced by systematic effects such as magnet misalignments. To investigate systematic effects individually and to support data analysis, a realistic simulation model of the storage ring is needed. In this paper, the development of such a model based on the Bmad software library is presented. Furthermore, various systematic effects and their impact on the spin motion in COSY are investigated and quantified by means of beam and spin tracking simulations.
