| Abstract |
In the heavy ion synchrotron SIS18 at GSI an ion catcher system has been installed to provide low desorption surfaces for ionization beam loss to reduce dynamic vacuum effects. Medium charge state heavy ions can change their charge state in collission with residual gas molecules. Those ions are cought by the ion catcher system. The ion catcher blocks are mounted electrically insulated, such that it is possible, to directly measure the electrical current, induced by the incident ions. Changes in vacuum density during the acceleration cycle and also the energy dependent decrease of the cross sections for electron loss and electron capture can be measured by this system. Different ion catcher currents, measured during the operation with U²⁸⁺, and their interpretation are presented. The measurement of ionization beam loss is a valuable tool to benchmark the dynamic vacuum simulations.
