Adiabatic theory of crossing third order resonance and its comparison with experiment at VEPP-4M

The universal analytical approach was developed to describe the process of particle slow extraction from a synchrotron using adiabatic crossing the betatron resonance of the third order. The obtained formulas make it possible to calculate the time diagrams for the current of the extracted beam (‘spill profile’), taking into account the chromaticity, particle momentum spread and synchrotron oscillations. On this basis, a method for monochromatization of extracted beam is indicated. The theory is compared with some results obtained in the experiment on crossing the third-order resonance at the VEPP-4M storage ring.
