AbstractStudies concerning the FLASH effect for radiation therapy are currently performed at ELSA. The booster synchrotron is used in a preliminary mode of operation to deliver electron beam pulses of 1.2 GeV energy with fixed length of 250 ns to irradiate cell samples. To enable different spill durations ranging from nanoseconds up to several ms in an energy range of 0.8 to 3.2 GeV a fast extraction from the stretcher ring is developed. Therefore a repurposing of the existing injection kickers for extraction is under study to achieve single turn extraction, up to extraction within a few turns. While the effect on the beam dynamics is observed with a streak camera, the measurement of the extracted beam is performed via current and chromox monitors. For longer spill durations, reaching up to ms, the feasibility of multiple concepts for a quicker resonant extraction at ELSA is investigated.
