AbstractThe existing synchrotron SIS18 will serve as an injector for the FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) complex in booster mode operation. FAIR requires high-intensity beams, placing stringent demands on increasing beam currents in SIS18. Operational experience has shown that significantly increasing beam intensity in SIS18 necessitates both a higher current from UNILAC and improved injection efficiency into SIS18. Currently, injection into the SIS18 synchrotron is performed using conventional multi-turn injection (MTI) in the horizontal plane. To significantly enhance beam intensity in SIS18, we propose implementing a two-plane multi-turn injection scheme. This method aims to boost beam intensity to the desired levels (e.g., uranium beams exceeding 1x1E11 per cycle), even within the current capabilities of UNILAC. This paper discusses how MTI gain can be increased with high efficiency through a two-dimensional technique of painting Lissajous-like patterns in horizontal-vertical space using an inclined electrostatic septum. Simulation examples are presented, illustrating the characteristics of the beam created in SIS18 and the potential effects of space charge forces.
