Abstract

For booster synchrotrons, like the SIS at GSI, space charge is one of the main intensity limitations. At injection energy the space charge induced tune spreads in booster synchrotrons are large, reaching up to 0.5 and the ramping times are typically short. We study the effect of several localized electron lenses distributed equally around the circumference in order to compensate for the transverse space charge force.
