Abstract This paper proposes a novel method for non-resonant slow extraction by using special anti-symmetric sextupole field in synchrotrons. The method has the potential in applications asking for stable slow extraction and in the halo collimation of very large machine such as LHC. Our studies show that the slow extraction by using anti-symmetric sextupole field has some advantages compared to the normal sextupole field which is the normal extraction method. One of them is that it can work at almost arbitrary tune, so that it can avoid the problem of the intensity variation caused by the ripples of magnet supplies. Studies by Hamiltonian theory and simulations which meet well show that the stable region only depends on the anti-symmetric sextupole field strength and the particles outside will be driven out in two directions which are similar to the second-order resonant extraction but with spiral steps as in the third-order resonance extraction. The beam can be extracted with a very stable intensity by gradually increasing the field strength. The multi-particle simulations by a self-made program have been carried out with a proton lattice designed for proton therapy.
