Description
Improving the temporal structure of slowly extracted beams (spills) is a key challenge for efficient beam operation at the SIS18 synchrotron of GSI.
This contribution focusses on the recently developed spill optimization system implemented with software-defined radio (SDR) technology. It comprises a feedback system to control the spill rate and an optimization algorithm to automatically improve the spill quality – implemented on a single device. The idea, system layout and results with beam of the developed spill control system are discussed.
