Abstract

The proton cycle in the SIS100 synchrotron is designed to deliver single bunches with 2×10¹³ particles at 29 GeV. During the cycle beam dynamics near transition energy have to be analyzed to avoid a significant emittance blow-up. In the past two scenarios were discussed, a shift of the transition energy above the extraction energy and a transition crossing with a so called γ_t jump. To estimate the possible emittance blow-up in both scenarios, longitudinal simulations are presented including the Johnsen effect based on the second order phase slip factor and the effect of longitudinal space charge. Furthermore, different parameters in the design of the γ_t jump are varied and a set of parameters is proposed that shows minimal longitudinal emittance growth in the simulations.
