abstract = {The betatron tune and its dependence on the momentum
(chromaticity) are essentialquantities of circular particle
accelerators. The tune must be monitored in order toavoid
optical resonances which cause instabilities and limit the
lifetime of the storedparticle beam. Control of the tune and
chromaticity are also required to achieve longcoherence
times in spin polarization experiments as carried out by the
JEDI collaboration.In the scope of the present thesis, a
fast betatron tune and chromaticity measurementsystem is
developed for the Cooler Synchrotron COSY. The betatron
oscillations ofthe beam are excited through stripline
electrodes with a white noise RF signal in anappropriate
frequency band. Resonant transverse oscillations are then
observed usingcapacitive beam position monitors.
Characteristic for the newly developed system isthe
determination of the betatron tune from bunch-by-bunch beam
position measurements.This allows for time-discrete tune
measurements within a few milliseconds aswell as continuous
tune monitoring – for example during the acceleration
ramp.The high precision tune measurement also enables
determination of the beam chromaticity.Therefore, the beam
momentum is varied by means of RF frequency sweepsand the
subsequent tune change is measured. For routine use during
beam operationand experiments, the developed method is
integrated into the control system.Finally, measurements
showing the operational capabilities and limits of the
methodare presented. The influence of different parameters
on the signal strength is analysed.For commissioning,
control of the betatron tune and compensation of the
chromaticityare demonstrated.},
