The influence of coupled synchrotron-betatron resonances on the extracted beam of the stretcher ring ELSA

For the correction of the chromaticity for horizontal and vertical direction each four sextupoles are installed in ELSA. At a working point near 14/3 their influence on the quantity of the stable region of the transverse phase space is essentially smaller than that of the extraction sextupoles. On the other hand the latter lie at positions of low dispersion so that their influence on the chromaticity is negligible; therefore chromaticity correction and choice of the stable phase-space region are not strongly mutually dependent which will be of advance for the later operation. In extraction with corrected chromaticity the electrons are extracted only because of their different position in the transverse phase space which leads to a timely alteration of the η coordinate and by this to a migration of the extracted beam. Consequences of this are the strongly against extraction without chromaticity correction increased emittance and the doubled momentum uncertainty of the beam. Of advance however is the high extraction efficiency of 80% and the small number of the electrons remaining in the ring (below 2%). (orig./HSI)
